HOMETIME

Legendary New York dance maestro has taken HOMETIME’s single BURN THE PHOTOGRAPH and dressed it in black for the dancefloor. Two muscular remixes accelerate the BPM over a truly filthy bass, a ton of percussion, a lick of guitar, and an earworm chant. The mixes reflect the ferocity of the argument in the lyrics. Dark heartbreak never sounded better.

"Defibrillate my coal-black heart in search of warmer blood. You’ve won the game, so drop my name right there in the mud."

BURN THE PHOTOGRAPH brings the listener right inside the last bitter argument of a dying relationship. Dark as that might sound, the song actually has a positive message at its core: make peace with your past; learn from it; step away from the toxicity. Whether it’s a failed relationship, a burning building, or an online spat with trolls – extract yourself. The past is a place, not an anchor.

Last year, Vero also produced a glamourous EP of dance mixes of the feelgood single WHAT YOU WANTED.

HOMETIME is the name under which Dubliner Tony Kavanagh releases music. He has written and co-written a diverse catalogue of songs. Some form the basis of his forthcoming debut album, while others have been released by other artists.

The singles so far – GRATITUDE; THE SOUND OF HEARTBREAK; IT BEATS LIVING ALONE; WHAT YOU WANTED and the original BURN THE PHOTOGRAPH – have all generated a buzz. They got airplay in Ireland (including 2FM and RTE Radio1), the UK, the US, Canada, Switzerland and Mexico. The singles were Top 3 hits on Canada’s Q32 gay chart, and scored Top 10 placings on the UK’s LGBTQ Music Chart.

HOMETIME is a pop project by Tony Kavanagh, Dublin, Ireland. From the songwriting and the vocals to the design and the funding, the album project is entirely self-managed. Production duties are handled, in the main, by Seán Hurley, in his Little Bear studio. The new single and some other tracks on the album have been produced by Tomás Forde of Northern Ives, who has joined the Little Bear Productions team.

The pandemic delays have been turned into creative opportunities. Keeping busy writing for the album, Tony has also co-written material for other acts.
