Sean Macleod - 'Beautiful Star'

Acclaimed Irish songwriter Sean MacLeod returns with his latest single ‘Beautiful Star’, a gorgeously layered piano-led track that blends classic pop sensibility with prog rock elegance.

Rich in 70s influence, ‘Beautiful Star’ delivers soaring vocal harmonies, intricate guitar textures, and a haunting melodic structure. Lyrically, the song explores themes of spirituality and philosophical introspection, all while maintaining an accessible and melodic charm.

A founding member of cult Dublin band Cisco, Sean MacLeod continues to evolve as a solo artist, drawing on a palette that includes The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Motown, fused with folk, classical, and experimental elements.

With ‘Beautiful Star’ setting the tone, he is preparing to release two new albums in 2026: the full-length ‘That’s When the Earth Becomes a Star’ and an experimental project titled ‘We Don’t See What That We Don’t See’, promising a prolific and creatively rich year ahead.
