After breaking through in her homeland Ireland, 23-year-old singer Áine Cahill is ready to capture Europe (for starters). Her new single Beauty Is A Lie is a haunting pop ballad, with an almost cinematic-like production. Lana Del Rey fans will love it!

In Cahill’s words, the song is about ‘all the bullshit we see day to day on social media’. She explains: “We all do it. People only show an edited version of themselves, the side they think is ‘the best’, but this is the world we are living in. I hate it, but I love it at the same time.”

Beauty Is A Lie is accompanied by a creepy video, featuring moving shadows and strobing lights.
