Posthumous debut album from Dublin singer-songwriter Graham Mitchell announced
Following the tragic news of the death of Graham 'Milky' Mitchell back in February, friends of the Irish singer-songwriter have announced that his posthumous debut album is on the way. Loveable Mess will be released on July 25, and is available to pre-order now on Bandcamp, on 12″ 'milk white' vinyl and as a digital album.
All proceeds from the album will be shared between several charities closely connected to Graham.
'Three months ago, the world lost a beautiful soul far too soon, Graham Mitchell from Raheny,' the Bandcamp page reads. 'Graham was not only a gifted singer-songwriter, but a radiant light to all who knew him. Graham has released several singles over the last few years, but this his first and only album, stands as a powerful testament to his dedication, talent, and deep love for music.
'Over the years, Graham poured his heart into every lyric and chord, carving out a space for himself in Dublin's vibrant music scene. From countless open mic nights in cosy pubs to late-night writing sessions, his journey was built on perseverance, humility, and authenticity. He touched many with his soulful voice and thoughtful lyrics, often drawing from life's joys and sorrows to create something truly moving.'
Loveable Mess has been in the making for several years, and includes the previously released singles 'Who Came Up With Love?' and 'A Beating Soul'.
The album is described as 'not only a celebration of his work, but a tribute to all his fans, friends and family whom he loved very much'.
Graham, who passed away unexpectedly at home on February 20, had previously played on the Hot Press Y&E Series in 2020. Back in March, Damien Dempsey dedicated his performance of 'Chris & Stevie' to the late musician during his Windmill Live show, presented by Hot Press.
