Mike Ryan Releases Brilliant New Single ‘Breathe Again’

Following the momentum of his burgeoning career, which has seen him garner critical praise and multiple accolades, Ryan once again delivers a track that resonates on both a personal and universal level.
The song’s sound is anchored by the delicate interplay of Ryan’s voice and the warm opening piano and acoustic guitar, crafting an intimate atmosphere from the first note. Lead guitar by James Ryan adds a layer of subtle complexity, providing just the right amount of texture without overshadowing the raw emotional core of the track. Recorded at Crosstown Studios and produced by Jon Lawton, Breathe Again features crisp production that allows every note to breathe, creating a space that feels both expansive and grounded.
Lyrically, Breathe Again explores themes of emotional renewal and reaching out. Ryan’s thoughtful songwriting strikes a balance between vulnerability and hope, a delicate dance that speaks to the complexity of navigating personal struggles. His voice—gentle yet commanding—draws listeners in, with a tone that feels both warming and cathartic.
Jon Lawton’s production is a perfect complement to Ryan’s vision, adding depth and clarity to the arrangement while keeping the focus squarely on the song’s heart. The track’s simplicity in instrumentation allows Ryan’s vocals to shine, without feeling sparse, and the gentle ebb and flow of the melody mirrors the emotional journey the song takes.

With each release, he solidifies his place in the local scene, and this track feels like a natural step forward in his artistic evolution. If this song is any indication, his upcoming work promises to continue to be a source of introspective beauty and emotional resonance.
