Alt-pop artist færy today reveals new single, “beltane”, the fourth offering from her debut album rising which is set for release on Thursday 31 October 2024 and is available for pre-order now.
LISTEN TO “BELTANE” NOW
“beltane” features Cornell’s signature delicate yet powerful vocals, wrapped in a minimalistic arrangement of gentle bass strums, soothing water droplets and birdsongs. With a languid tempo and an evocative call-out build-up, the track unfolds into a wistful, cinematic soundscape that mirrors the bittersweet journey of heartbreak and healing.
The name comes from the annual Celtic festival Beltane, held one night a year from 30 April into 1 May. Associated with rituals centred around fertility, fire, the blossoming of spring and the renewal of life, it was traditionally a time of celebration, featuring dancing around maypoles, bonfires and feasting.
Recorded in Cornwall, United Kingdom, with London-based writer/producer Will Vaughan (Oliver Tree, Dorian Electra, KSI, Mae Muller), “beltane” began in Ibiza when Cornell’s life had fallen to pieces.
“I was meant to be there on my honeymoon, but because my partner and I had split right after my Dad died, I took a bunch of women instead. It was wild and fun and just the medicine I needed but it was also sad and destructive and rattling to my soul.”
“I was taking endless baths and regularly in the pool trying to wash off my pain and I made a series of recordings whilst staying there, of the sounds of my bath interwoven with birdsong,” said Cornell.
With all songs on the album written across one year, “beltane” shows the evolution of Cornell’s recording process.
“I explored more of my range in “beltane”. I think my experience making films and theatre means I am always thinking of the full sound scape and the theatricality of it. I want a whole world created that the listener can step into and lose themselves in, as if one had stepped off the path into a fairy ring and is suddenly in an entirely different realm of colour and light.”
Hailing from Byron Bay, Liana Cornell is an established actor, writer, filmmaker, and environmentalist, known for her roles in series such as Britannia, Wolf Creek, House of Hancock, Love Child, Schapelle and more. In 2021, she released the Refugia project and an accompanying documentary series, focusing on good environmental works undertaken by unsung, everyday heroes and celebrating communities and companies dedicated to nurturing nature. færy, her foray into music, is her new creative evolution. færy makes music that feels like it’s being pulled from deep within you—part untamed spirit, part mythological rebel. “anam cara” is the third single from færy’s debut album rising, slated for release on Thursday 31 October 2024.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
