Marking Morgana’s debut solo release, Party Killer EP is a melodramatic nosedive into pop, with a signature emotional pang at the centre. Morgana captures her evolution from a well-behaved people pleaser to a “slightly unhinged” prima donna. A tapestry of Morgana’s influences, the EP threads her love of Italo disco and 80s synth pop, interwoven with her signature vocal style.
Morgana, formerly one-half of the prolific folk duo Saint Sister, now embarks on a solo journey into kaleidoscopic popstar-dom with glittery tear tracks trailing behind her. After sold-out headline shows at the Button Factory, Dublin, and London’s Lexington, and extensive touring with CMAT and Dermot Kennedy last year, Morgana’s stage presence has been perfected to star quality. She sets the stage for an experience that oscillates between euphoria and catharsis, promising listeners not just a performance, but a journey. Her music is a mantra: prepared to party, ready to cry. Fans of CMAT, Kate Bush, Sharon Van Etten, and Chappell Roan will fall in love with Morgana’s technicoloured, tearful disco.
