Eimear Kelly Confronts Self- Worth and Longing on Gritty New Single ‘Demean Me’

Written during a period where Kelly didn’t want to dress her feelings up with humour or clever lines, the track is achingly
direct: “I’m better off now not being your secret / But I still want you around although it’d be demeaning. Demean me.” It’s about the quiet and erosive decision to choose comfort over dignity just to feel close to someone.
