Somebody’s Child will release his debut self-titled album on February 3, 2023 via Frenchkiss Records. Today, Cian Godfrey AKA: Somebody’s Child has shared the album track “I Need Ya.” The track follows previous singles “We Could Start A War,” “Sell Out,” and “Broken Record,” where Godfrey says, “This was one of the first songs that defined the sound and pace of the album. Some of this album can be boiled down back to my chronic fear of growing older. To me this track in particular is a gentle reminder to stay young for as long as you can.”

Somebody’s Child has its roots in Godfrey’s formative years growing up in Dublin and the experiences that went with it. It was recorded at East London’s Hackney Road Studios with the producer Mikko Gordon (The Smile, Gaz Coombes, Thom Yorke)

This month Somebody’s Child embark on a world-wide tour that includes stops in Austin for SXSW as well as a show at New York City’s Mercury Lounge on March 22 and at The Middle East Upstairs in Boston, MA on March 23. Shows in London, Manchester, and Amsterdam are now sold out.
