Redemption Arc

even when it’s inconvenient. And when is it not inconvenient? Hot Press Magazine called Becca a “captivating vocalist, lyricist, and born star”, Clash Magazine said their previous band “sent shivers as to what they could become”. That promise was never fulfilled, but it wasn't the industry that broke them, it was life. They started calling themselves "The band whom Jesus loves", not to provoke, but because they had nothing left to give, being loved was the only identity they could wear honestly. Excavating the gritty duality of reality and experience, where love is defiance, and things are not always as they seem. What came out were songs and stories of healing, provision, and restoration... these aren't letters addressed to the fire, that's where they were written. With her Kentucky heart and his Belfast wit, Redemption Arc lands somewhere between the poetic defiance of Leonard Cohen, the cinematic romance of Lana Del Rey, and the off-kilter intimacy of Regina Spektor.

“Becca and Clements — the duo behind Redemption Arc — seem to be tapping into the sentiments of [chamber pop, art pop, alt-pop] and my first thought listening to ‘The Purple Song’ was “This is a very quirky and cheerful tune”. I almost tagged the song as bubblegum pop but on multiple listens, I realised that I would be doing it a great disservice.” Billy Adesola, Still Small Voice

Having received support from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the National Lottery Fund, Redemption Arc are now working with industry greats like Grammy-winning mastering engineer John Greenham (Billie Eilish) to carve out a space for the misfits, the brokenhearted… and, of course, royalty. The result is a growing underground movement with headline slots at festivals across Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, and a live feature in CCM Magazine. That’s where they were written.
