Chicago

Our haunting ballad ‘Chicago’ is told from the perspective of a gangster’s moll, trapped in the crime underworld and yearning to escape. She does manage to break free, but not in the way she expected. Co-written by Morna MacAedyn and Nina Wells, our song blends dark Americana and historical storytelling with rich vocals and our unique musical edge. Give it a listen, enjoy, and let us know what you think. Like, comment, and share like you mean it!
