LIMERICK rapper and producer Harry Kelly has released his latest single STAR, a high-energy collaboration featuring Belfast rapper and producer cbakl and Limerick-based artist GavinDaVinci, accompanied by a striking music video shot across Limerick city (filmed in Record Room, The Commercial) and Belfast.
Directed by Kelly alongside Jasper Fitzgerald, the video draws its visual concept from old Vaudeville-style stand-up comedy, evoking the kind of sharp-suited club comedians familiar from classic mafia films. Kelly opens proceedings as a tongue-in-cheek comic figure delivering quick-fire jokes, adding a layer of character and dry humour before the track shifts into its main gear.
STAR marks Kelly’s first release in six months and, by his own account, signals the beginning of a more active run of music heading into the summer. Known for blending alternative hip hop with electronic and dance influences, the Limerick artist has steadily built his profile through self-directed releases and visually ambitious projects.
An Irish summer tour is also in the pipeline, with dates expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
