Mary Duff Announces New Album “Who I Am” — A Deeply Personal Musical Journey
Dublin, Ireland — Beloved Irish singer Mary Duff has officially announced the release of her highly anticipated new album, “Who I Am,” marking an exciting new chapter in her celebrated career. The announcement was made during her appearance on Virgin Media One’s The Six O’Clock Show on September 26, 2025, where Mary joined hosts Katja Mia and Brian Dowling for an intimate conversation about her life, music, and the heartfelt inspiration behind her latest project.
After more than three decades in the spotlight, Mary says this new album feels different — more personal, more reflective, and more honest than anything she’s recorded before. “This is the album I’ve wanted to make for a long time,” she said. “It tells my story — not just as a performer, but as a woman who’s lived, loved, and learned along the way. Every song on Who I Am represents a part of my journey.”
Blending traditional Irish country roots with contemporary arrangements, “Who I Am” features a carefully chosen mix of original songs and reimagined classics that capture Mary’s signature warmth and sincerity. Standout tracks include “Every Road Leads Home,” “I’ll Carry You in My Heart,” and the emotional title track “Who I Am,” which she describes as “a song about strength, faith, and staying true to yourself no matter where life takes you.”
Recorded between Dublin and Nashville, the album’s production highlights the purity of Mary’s vocals — a voice often praised for its emotional clarity and timeless beauty. Longtime fans will recognize the comforting, heartfelt tone that has made her one of Ireland’s most treasured artists, while new listeners will be drawn in by the authenticity and emotional honesty that runs through every lyric.
“I think we all reach a point in our lives where we stop trying to please everyone and start embracing who we really are,” Mary shared. “That’s what this album is about — acceptance, gratitude, and love. I wanted the songs to feel like pages from my diary, set to music.”
Mary Duff’s career has been nothing short of extraordinary. Since her early beginnings performing in Meath, she has toured extensively around the world, often alongside her longtime friend and collaborator Daniel O’Donnell. Her music — a blend of classic country, Irish folk, and gospel — has earned her countless loyal fans and a reputation for sincerity both on and off the stage.
“I’ve been so blessed to do what I love for so many years,” she said. “And I owe that to the people who’ve supported me from the very start. This album is really for them — for the fans who’ve been with me through it all.”
Critics and colleagues alike have already expressed excitement about the project. Music producer Seamus Fitzpatrick, who worked closely with Mary on the album, described it as “her most powerful and heartfelt record yet.” He added, “Mary sings these songs as if she’s lived every word — and in many ways, she has. It’s pure, it’s real, and it’s beautifully her.”
To coincide with the release, Mary is planning a nationwide Irish tour in early 2026, followed by select international dates in the UK and the United States. The concerts will feature songs from Who I Am alongside many of her beloved classics, offering fans a musical journey through both her past and her present.
Mary’s announcement has already drawn heartfelt reactions from fans online, with many calling her new album title “perfectly fitting.” One longtime supporter wrote, “Mary’s music has always been about truth and heart — and this title says it all. We can’t wait to hear it.”
In an era where trends come and go, Mary Duff continues to represent the kind of timeless artistry that never fades — built on sincerity, faith, and the belief that great music comes from the soul.
“Who I Am” will be released on October 25, 2025, across all major streaming platforms and in stores nationwide.
As she wrapped up her interview on The Six O’Clock Show, Mary smiled and said simply, “At this stage in my life, I know exactly who I am — and I’m proud to sing it.”
