Soul Pop from Sarah McGuinness

From Donegal in Ireland to the electric energy of London’s Soho, Sarah McGuinness has walked a truly unique musical path that’s as exciting as it is glamorous. An artist, filmmaker and performer in equal measure, she channels a blend of style and substance as a woman whose stilettoed stride through the global music scene is matched only by the depth of her creative conviction. Behind the classic allure and cinematic shine sits a songwriter with a sharp pen and a fierce heart, able to bring together nostalgia with meaning to deliver a celebrated musical output.

Her music feels like it could have been born from a 1960s vinyl collection; fuse the smoky soul of Marianne Faithfull, the melodic sweetness of Sandie Shaw and the commanding presence of Dusty Springfield, then add a dash of Lulu’s fire and a touch of silver-screen mystery and you start to approach the sound of Sarah McGuinness. It’s retro elegance reimagined for a modern era and her debut album Unbroken first introduced listeners to her world of warm, cinematic pop that shimmered with glamour while hitting hard with lyrical honesty.

Now, Sarah returns with a revival that’s at once highly personal and widely celebratory, the re-release of her cherished hit “Don’t Let Our Love Go” on Right Track/Universal Music. The track serves as a love letter to Soho, the cultural heart of London that once thrummed with creative vigour, before gentrification dimmed its edges. In her hands, the song becomes an anthem, a plea and a toast to the unbreakable spirit of a place that shaped generations of artists.

The release also sets the stage for a grand return to one of London’s most iconic locations on March 22nd when she’ll bring The Halyon Club back to Leicester Square Theatre for a one-night-only immersive concert event. It’s set to deliver an unforgettable experience, blending 1930s cabaret decadence, 1960s Bond glamour and the glitter-drenched euphoria of Studio 54. The dress code? Gold and silver glamour or black tie, naturally. It’s theatre, it’s disco, it’s a celebration of art and attitude wrapped up in a modern homage to the creative vitality that once defined Soho’s streets.

As the anthem of the highly anticipated night, “Don’t Let Our Love Go” captures Sarah at her utterly dazzling best, serving up a stunning soul pop jam that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Propelled by the shuffle of rustling drums and pulsing drums, bouncy piano lines and graceful strings form an alluring arrangement as Sarah’s stunning vocal performance shines throughout, laying down an infectious and truly timeless sound from start to finish.

Peppered with bright brass pips, smooth vocal layers and instilled with a misty sense of wonder, “Don’t Let Our Love Go” presents a magical musical moment that’s set to become the soundtrack of a thoroughly incredible night. As an Emmy-nominated director and producer, Sarah McGuinness has spent years exploring how music and visuals collide and the Halyon Club concept reflects that synthesis perfectly, offering a live, immersive world that channels her cinematic stylings and musical flair.
