Peter Richardson – Told Me Twice (2024)
Peter Richardson’s new single ‘Told Me Twice’ offers a refreshing, romantic shift from his previous work, exploring themes of love, hope, and personal growth. Following the more introspective ‘Better Off Alone’, Richardson’s latest release reveals a softer, more uplifting side to the Dublin-based singer-songwriter, showcasing his growth both as a musician and as an artist navigating the evolving dynamics of relationships.
The track is a fusion of folk rock drenched in lush instrumentation and layered harmonies. Written during a period of personal and creative reflection, ‘Told Me Twice’ is both a celebration of newfound love and an exploration of its tender, optimistic complexities. The melodies soar with a warmth that complements the song’s poignant lyrics, a signature of Richardson’s ability to capture human emotion through music. The collaboration with producer Daniel DeBurca, whom Richardson has worked closely with in recent years, shines through in the track’s polished, yet intimate sound.
What stands out in ‘Told Me Twice’ is Richardson’s growth as a storyteller. The song’s lyrics are reflective, yet hopeful, painting a picture of vulnerability and joy in equal measure. It’s clear that Richardson’s experiences in the live music scene – where he and his band have steadily gained a following – have deeply influenced the evolution of his sound. The chemistry between Richardson and his band is palpable, infusing the track with energy and emotion that invites the listener into a shared experience of love’s highs and lows.
As Richardson continues to develop his sound and refine his musical identity, ‘Told Me Twice’ marks another pivotal moment in his career. It adds depth to his growing catalogue of songs and proves that he’s not just a talented songwriter, but an artist who is committed to evolving, experimenting, and connecting with his audience. With an upcoming performance at Dublin’s Grand Social in December, Peter Richardson is poised to take his music to even greater heights in 2025, and ‘Told Me Twice’ serves as a perfect introduction to this exciting new chapter.
