Give it up, ladies! 6 reasons why we CANNOT get enough of Róisín O
We’re all about sisterhood here at SHEmazing! HQ.
Empowering other women has always been the name of the game, and we love nothing more than having strong, confident women to take our lead from.
Whether it’s a friend, colleague or celeb, learning from another woman and allowing their approach to life and love influence yours in a positive way is one of life’s little gifts, and we’ve never been one to turn our back on a present.
One woman who has been giving us major life goals these days is our very own Róisín O, and here, ladies, are just six reasons why we absolutely love this Dubliner.
1. THOSE vocals
Talk about stating the obvious, but Christ on a bike, that girl can sing.
When you're getting goosebumps during your morning commute and revisiting your old journals for potential song lyrics, you know you have it bad for someone.
2. THIS video
The video for Give It Up is impressive in anyone's language, but when we heard the entire thing was shot in just one take, we fell all over ourselves here at SHEmazing! HQ.
Vocally stunning and visually compelling, this video gave us ALL the feels, AND reminded us exactly why this girl is in a league of her own.
3. THIS cover
If you, like us, will be forever indebted to your parents for introducing you to Fleetwood Mac, then you'll totally understand why this cover featured in our list.
Taking one of our favourite tunes and making it her own, Róisín O absolutely nailed Landslide and made us question whether she actually topped Stevie Nick's original.
4. THAT piercing
Is it just us, or does Róisín reminds you of an effortlessly cool cousin who you always wanted to be like?
Maybe it's the piercing – OK, it's definitely the piercing – but every time we catch a glimpse of her we start picturing whether we could rock one just like Ms. O.
5. THIS throwback snap
We love nothing more than getting a snapshot into certain star's past lives, and Róisín really knows how to deliver on this front.
Reminding us that everyone's family shots looked exactly the same back in the 80s – dodgy decor galore – this singer gave us all the feels when she posted a throwback snap of her and her bro getting their flake on back in the day.
6. THIS gig
Róisín is as passionate about protecting young women in Ireland as we are, so we are PUMPED that she's headlining our gig in The Sugar Club on Wednesday July 6th.
Raising awareness of dating abuse and raising funds for Women's Aid is the name of the game on the night, and if you want to get involved, you can get your early bird tickets right here, right now.
