Give In To Temptation NOW

We Love models here at Cineal Saoil, even former models turned-something elses (insert actor, musician etc. here). We love former models turned something-elses who are dating current models that we already love. We love love love models.

That out of the way, none of the afore-referenced reasons honestly have anything to do with our love of Justin Manville and his latest single 'Temptation'. This love is purely for his raw, unadulterated talent. Like a sexier version of Sting meeting a hipper version of Jack Johnson, Justin has such a great vibe running through all his music and this latest single has a really naughty up-beat to it. I cannot stop humming this tune! Great track to blast while driving, fun to throw on while you are getting ready for a night out. I played it three times last night while I was making dinner! Just a super good song and as you can see above, very glam video!

The song is available on www.downloadmusic.ie for 99c. To get it, go to the site or text "MUSIC 4033" to 57501 and then go online and download! If you aren't tech savvy get old school and head to HMV Grafton Street, Henry Street or Tower Records and enjoy! Definitely check Justin Manville's tunes out, you will not be sorry! http://www.justinmanville.com/

Spreading Some Irish Love...

I honestly can't think of a hotter Irish Specimen to be conquering the world than the leggy Nadine Coyle! (OK Obv we can think of some equals) Nadine has been doing Ireland proud now for years as not only the hottest, sweetest and most talented member of GirlsAloud but soon it seems she'll be doing it all on her own!

Although they have stated emphatically that the girl group is not set to split, Nadine and fellow Cheryl Cole are both kick starting solo careers! Despite Cheryl's overwhelming UK popularity (thanks in part to XFactor, in part to her WAG appeal and in part to her ridiculously shiny hair) it is Nadine that all the major American music execs are after as three top record labels are said to be in a bidding war to sign her.

"It looks like Universal - a subdivision of the Girls Aloud label Fascination - will produce Nadine's solo shot. But whoever wins her will have to pay a lot because everyone's desperate to sign her. She will get an amazing deal as a result of shopping around," claims a source.

Our lovely Derry lady will start to record her solo offerings in LosAngeles later this year and I for one cannot wait to see what she has on offer!

Hot Right Now; Luan Parle

I have been walking around for weeks humming (because I cannot sing to save my life!) the hauntingly beautiful tune Ghost by the hauntingly beautiful Luán Parle so I just had to do a post expelling the talents of this lovely Irish lady!

The Gorge Singer-Songwriter Luán Parle (pronounced Lu-on Parl) is from the equally beautiful Wicklow. Luán has a distinct vocal style, and an ability to compose and perform across genres that is unlike anyone else we've heard from this island.

2007 and 2008 were banner years for Luán and now the she is a firmly established and celebrated artist 2009 should be the same!

"...Luán has had a successful chart album (“Free”), top 10 hit single (“Ghost”), a top 10 national annual airplay hit (“Failed Romances”) and a multitude of awards including three majors: Meteor “Best Irish Female Artist” / Tatler “Music Woman of the Year” / Big Buzz “Best Female Performer”. In 2008 she performed on many national TV shows including the Late Late Show, Ireland AM & Xpose..."

Luán has had massively favourable response to radio and television play up and down the country. Her album “Free” which was an “Irish only” release had Luán spending weeks touring Ireland where she made a point to hold many “no age restriction” concerts. Luán continued her work and involvement with Irish youth by giving numerous primary & secondary school “workshops” about being a songwriter and the music industry in general.

Miss Parle has also cemented her place as an Irish 'It' girl as she has been featured in many “glossy” mags like VIP, Image, Irish Tatler, TV Now out and about and always looking GORGE. Along with a distinct musical style Luán has a distinct sense of style with her fashion and brings a very refreshing Boho-Glam look to the Irish music scene, a nice departure from some of the more cookie-cutter pop tarlets that seem to always flood the market. Though she is now really coming in to her own, and the spotlight she deserves Luán has been singing since age seven, writing since the age of eleven and first recorded and appeared on TV before her teens.

Miss Parle was seen on the Late Late (Toy) Show at the early age of 11 and sang a track she had written herself called “I Look Up To The Sky”.

In more recent years she has worked with the best of Ireland's and international writers, producers, and musicians to cultivate her rich sound and build up her experience.

I'm sure loads of you are familiar with her music but if you aren't get acquainted! Luán Parle will be around for years to come and she appears to only be getting better with age. Her tunes are like musical smack, one listen and you'll be hooked, humming away for weeks at a time just like me! Give a listen!! So excited to hear what else this FAB lady has to offer!
