THE FOOL

Following on from 2021’s acclaimed ‘The Merchant’, Linda Moylan releases her third full album ‘The Fool’ on Talking Elephant Records.

The ten self and co-written songs all draw on Linda’s London-Irish heritage and her life and experiences growing up in and around pre-gentrified East London. From the end-of-the-week devil-may-care of the single ‘Irish Love Song’, through the moon-in-the-gutter, kitchen sink realism of ‘Venus In The Dirt’, to the shabby lodgings of the homesick itinerant worker in ‘Ancient Truth – Linda captures the resilience of the working class, immigrant experience with the rare authenticity of someone who has lived and ultimately embraced it.

‘The Fool’ sees Linda stepping up to the co-producer’s role, making certain that her vision for the songs is the one that she presents to the listener. Her hand-picked cast of co-producers, co-writers and musicians – both old faithfuls and new collaborators – always support but never overshadow the essence of the songs and Linda’s room-silencing voice.

‘The Fool’ is a definitive, mature and self-assured piece of work that completes Linda Moylan’s transition from gifted singer to fully-fledged and unique musical artist.
