Padraig Whelan – Off & On

Yorkshire artist Padraig Whelan’s elegaic “Off & On” is our favorite pop track of the week. “Off & On”‘s sweet melody, and gentle instrumentals remind almost of standards or 50’s/60’s country and western ballads. One of Whelan’s favorite influences (and of our favorites too) is Nina Simone, and you can definitely hear Ms. Simone’s influence both aesthetically and melodically in this track. Padraig Whelan is one to watch.
