Following the 2023 album Feels Like, Indie folk artist Mary Hennessy returns with the release of her new, dreamy single You’re Gonna Ruin Me. The talented singer-songwriter knew what she was doing releasing a Gilmore Girls-esque song just in time for cosy autumn evenings.
The heartfelt track explores how a fleeting relationship can often leave lasting impacts. The melancholic production relaxes you instantly which contradicts the emotional, sharp lyrics. The acoustic elements of the song work perfectly with Hennessy’s raw and soft vocals.
The storytelling in You’re Gonna Ruin Me comes from quiet realisations rather than dramatic epiphanies, this makes the song more compelling to the audience by heightening its relatability. “Regret crept in like she always does” is a very clever use of personification. Transforming a simple noun into something that ‘creeps’ in, is captivating.
A beautiful, gentle song paired meaningful lyrics, You’re Gonna Ruin Me may have just reignited the Liverpool-bred singer’s passion for creating music that resonates deeply with her fans.
