Kodaline unveils strength in friendship and perseverance with latest release “Vultures”
Kodaline’s latest release, “Vultures,” is a more lighthearted take on a serious subject, transforming years of pressure in the music industry into something lively, direct, and effortlessly relatable to connect with. Instead of dwelling on the weight of those experiences, the band channels them into a song built around persistence, staying focused and refusing to let outside noise derail the journey.
You can feel it, the experience of having been through tough times and come out with a better sense of what matters. At the heart of the track is a message about friendship too. The power of moving forward is found in keeping real people close, giving “Vultures” a human side beneath its fun exterior.
It was written by Steve Garrigan, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Nolan Sipe, and Steve Robson and produced by Mads Christian Damgaard Christensen and Philip Magee. The arrangement is a full ensemble of guitars, keyboards, percussion, saxophone, cello, violin, and backing vocals. “Vultures” is meant to be played loud, its serious message wrapped in an upbeat spirit. It’s Kodaline choosing resilience over losing their sense of fun.
