Lorraine O Reilly – “Where are you now”
From Farm to Stage: Lorraine O’Reilly Asks the Right Questions on “Where Are You Now”
On Where Are You Now, London-based singer-songwriter Lorraine O’Reilly delivers a stirring reflection on distance, longing, and the emotional traces people leave behind. Released on March 14, 2025, the single carries more than just a strong melody, it carries stories, places, and the weight of experience.
The track was recorded in a place as unique as its origin story: Russell Crowe’s private farm in Australia. There, Lorraine teamed up with Crowe’s band, The Gentleman Barbers, to shape the song’s sonic identity. The result is intimate yet expansive, infused with warmth and an authenticity that doesn’t try to dress itself up. Co-produced by Craig McEvoy, Where Are You Now balances the tenderness of folk with the cinematic polish that comes from seasoned collaborators and global touring miles.
Lorraine’s voice is at the center, clear and emotionally unguarded. There’s no overperformance, just honesty. It’s a performance that hints at her time with Crowe’s Indoor Garden Party, but stands entirely on its own. The lyricism invites interpretation, there’s space for heartbreak, for nostalgia, and for the simple ache of absence. It’s the kind of song that grows on you, one phrase at a time.
Following standout appearances at the Sydney Opera House, the Dublin Gaiety Theatre, and even the Colosseum in Rome, Lorraine is clearly stepping into a new chapter. Where Are You Now isn’t just a preview of her upcoming album, it’s a quiet declaration of artistic arrival.
More than anything, this single echoes Lorraine’s own mantra: “It’s never too late to pursue your dream.” With work like this, she’s not just chasing hers—she’s inviting others to follow theirs too.
