After originally introducing himself with his spectacular debut album ‘The Longest Day In History’ in 2016, which featured his breakthrough anthem “My Dear Mother”, Northern Irish indie-rock innovator David C Clements has now made his long-awaited return to deliver the euphoric new single Reckless.
Bringing back all of that rich and majestic energy he first emerged with, “Reckless” sees him break his eight-year silence with a truly anthemic new offering. With its broad and emotive textures set perfectly to a rising crescendo throughout, this new single marks the beginning of the next phase within his musical evolution to date.
Speaking about the new release, he said, “I began writing Reckless after moving my childhood upright piano into my house. I’d had this little guitar riff that I’d happened upon in a soundcheck, and something about those notes resonating when played on the piano brought a whole new mood to it and the song just flowed out from there. It’s an all encompassing song about love. To love and be loved. The highs, the lows and the joy of the normalities of everyday life.”

Following the release of his debut album, Clements established himself as one of Northern Ireland’s most distinctive voices. In 2022, he stood in as lead singer of Two Door Cinema Club on their South American festival run. He was invited to Washington D.C. in 2023 to perform at the capital’s St Patrick’s Day Gala Concert, alongside James Vincent McMorrow, SOAK and Tolü Makay.
David C Clements performs in places as epic and ethereal as his musical offerings. Within the circular walls of Mussenden Temple, perched on the edge of a sheer cliff with the Atlantic Ocean below. In Belfast’s Central Church, his sold-out Christmas show has become an annual tradition; pews filled with listeners who hold Clements’ voice in reverence. If he sings it, they will come.
