Dublin-based artist Danny Groenland (fka Danny G and the Major 7ths) released his third studio album Burning Rome on April 25. He says: "The issues I focus on with this album - climate disaster, war, genocide, division, homelessness, inequality, mental health, police brutality, institutional racism - all stem from the same root cause. Our economic system is destroying our planet. We need a complete systems change, with everyone pulling in the same direction. And we need it now. Despite the gravity of the above topics, I wanted this album to be optimistic. These songs come from a variety of feelings. Love, anger, empathy, sorrow, fear and hope. I do have hope, otherwise I wouldn’t have recorded it. I have faith in humanity. We’ve been conditioned to think that things like poverty and war are normal and will always be. It doesn’t have to go like this. I hope this music gives you both comfort in solidarity, and the energy to be the change that’s needed." Danny chats about all this on the TPOE podcast, as well as growing up in a musical family and initially playing trad music, his journey into the Dublin soul scene on the early 2010s, why and how he started Danny G and the Major 7ths, playing in a wedding band, and how and why he got political on Burning Rome.
