NEW CITY is taken from much promising Irish singer and songwriter Ferna's debut album Understudy due for release in Spring 2023.  Accompanied by gorgeous visuals, the song reflects Ferna's excitement and hope of moving to the US for two years to complete a Master's in Music Composition, but also the pain of having a reason to leave in the first place. An emotional musical treasure that overflows with Ferna's heartfelt vocals that truly depict her feelings from the first note to the last.
