Music
Join the Little Weirdo Revolution—where standing out is finally fitting in. With the release of her first two tracks on her Debut EP, ‘New Heights’ and ‘Little Weirdo’, Clare is proving that her artistry goes beyond performance—she’s a songwriter with something to say.
The first single, ‘New Heights’ is a mood-boosting, rebel-rousing anthem for fresh beginnings. A vibrant fusion of contemporary pop and traditional Irish sounds, New Heights is a declaration of reinvention—of shaking off the past and stepping boldly into the future. Featuring Lucia Mac Partlin on fiddle and Aimee Farrell Courtney on bodhrán, it blends deeply personal storytelling with anthemic power.
If New Heights is about breaking free, then Little Weirdo is about making peace with the past.
‘Little Weirdo’ is a deeply honest, poetic reflection on what it means to be different. It’s about realizing that even as adults, we’re all still trying to belong—still searching, still feeling lost sometimes.
“Clare O’Malley delivers one of the most astonishing performances I’ve seen this year”
“Ms O’Malley’s performance is but one of countless great things about this production.”
