Dublin-born songwriter Ailbhe Reddy has released her new single “Align”, the first track from her upcoming third album, which will arrive in early 2026 on Don Giovanni Records. The single is paired with a new video and marks the beginning of an exciting new era for the artist.
“Align” reflects on the point after a breakup when emotions begin to settle and it becomes possible to wish the other person well, even if the memories still hurt. The song captures the quiet realization that from now on, you will only see their life from a distance. Over time, those feelings may ease, and the song expresses this shift with honesty and care.
Reddy has developed a strong reputation for combining sharp lyricism with an expressive voice. Her debut album Personal History was nominated for the Choice Music Prize, and her follow-up Endless Affair built on that momentum, earning recognition for its emotional precision and thoughtful songwriting.
Her work often focuses on the in-between moments of life — the places where sadness, hope, and growth meet. This approach has led her to appear at major festivals such as Glastonbury, SXSW, and The Great Escape, where she has built a loyal audience that connects with the personal and vulnerable side of her music.
With “Align,” Reddy leans further into her ability to make individual experiences feel universal. The track balances intimacy with strength, pairing tender lyrics with a steady arrangement that highlights her growth as both a performer and a writer. The single also sets the stage for her third record, offering listeners the first sense of the themes and sounds she plans to explore.
Reddy will perform at The Lexington in London on April 21, 2026, giving fans a chance to hear “Align” and other new material live. Tickets are on sale now, marking the beginning of what promises to be a busy and important year for the songwriter.
“Align” signals not just a new release, but a new chapter, showing Reddy’s ability to move forward while continuing to craft music that resonates with honesty and depth. Check out the music video below:
