Leith-born artist Delbhoy Kennedy is starting to build some serious momentum and with “Sky’s The Limit”, it is easy to understand why. There’s something about his sound that feels rooted in classic British guitar music but not stuck in it. You can hear the influences, but it still feels like he’s trying to do his own thing with it.
The intro really caught me off guard in a good way. It has this slightly melancholic tone that pulls you in straight away, almost like you know something bigger is coming. And then when Kennedy’s voice properly comes in, it genuinely gave me goosebumps. There’s a depth to it, something very natural but still powerful, and it blends so well with the layered instrumentation around it.
The verses are definitely the strongest part for me. That’s where everything clicks. His voice, the guitars, the atmosphere, it all just works perfectly. There’s a moment with a kind of vocal-free hook where the acoustic and electric guitars take over, and it’s honestly one of my favourite parts of the track. It gives you a second to just enjoy the music without distraction.
The chorus shifts things into a more upbeat, indie direction. It opens the track up and gives it that anthemic feel, but personally, I didn’t connect with it as much as the verses. It’s not bad at all, it just feels a bit more familiar compared to the more interesting verses in the song.
Overall, with “Sky’s The Limit”, Kennedy feels like an artist figuring out exactly where he sounds best and when it hits those quieter, more emotional moments, it really hits. If anything, it made me want even more of that side of him.
