‘What the Hell is Home?’ by Conor Ef is a real NI-pop song - political electropop in a Northern Irish accent, with a touch of Irish traditional folk. It samples the resignation speech of Arlene Foster, Northern Ireland’s former first minister, spotlighting the hypocrisy of politicians there. The lyrics ponder what a home nation is and who it’s meant for, since it excludes so many. Conor delves into the feelings of despair that home can provoke, making you want to fly away or stream some nonsense to escape them. They shed light on who in the NI political realm can lead us forward, honouring our peace agreement.
Production is minimal, leaving room for Conor’s political commentary. The track was co-produced by Conor and Martin Hollis (Ed Sheeran, Adele...), with the harp playing a central role, bringing listeners to the emerald isle, but synths are up front too, referencing Conor’s current home, Berlin.
Expect more in this grain from Conor Ef, as well as more introspective, sad, slow dance floor fillers.
