Martina Flaherty – Falling Into Love (2022)

For over 20 years, Irish singer-songwriter Martina Flaherty has been involved in the music industry in some way or another. A voice coach and professional musician, she “made my dream a reality in my twenties when a friend and I put our money together and started a music duo playing local bars and hotels…” Establishing herself as an acoustic jazz meets folk and soul musician, Flaherty has played numerous venues, won several song contests and received coverage from notable blogs and community radios. The latest addition to her discography is the single ‘Falling Into Love’.



Released approximately eight years after her award-winning debut single ‘Maybe’, Martina Flaherty adopts a soothing, soulful sound in ‘Falling Into Love’. A simplistic arrangement, the ballad is piano driven enhancing the tenderness of the track. Yet, the insertion of drums, guitar and strings brings a kaleidoscopic element to the arrangement. Recorded with producer Dave Skelton, mastered by Aiden Foley, and with Ger Madden on the piano, ‘Falling Into Love’ is one of those songs that melt your heart as soon as it begins playing.

While the melody itself can soothe your soul and send you soaring on a fluffy sonic cloud, it is the lyricism that showcases Flaherty’s depth as an artist. Aiming to connect with listeners on a more intimate level, Flaherty believes that music can heal and comfort people. She explains that ‘Falling Into Love’ was penned when she was “sitting watching the waves breaking against the rocks in the beautiful Kilkee in County Clare, Ireland…the waves reminded me of myself breaking and then softening as I connected with the Source within to find the love and the peace…”

Sincere, sentimental, introspective and tender, Martina Flaherty sends shivers down your spine in the comforting single ‘Falling Into Love’.
