Singled Out (Eleanor McEvoy album)
2009 compilation album by Eleanor McEvoy
Singled Out Eleanor McEvoy's is a 2009 compilation album of singles taken from McEvoy's four award-winning independently released albums. Three of the albums, Yola, Out There, and Love Must Be Tough, received the coveted Album of the Year Award from Hi-Fi+ Magazine.[1] Early Hours was voted Best Contemporary Album 2004–2005 by Irish Music Magazine Readers Poll.[2] The album includes Did I Hurt You and Isn't It A Little Late from McEvoy's double A-Side single which was the world's first single to be released on the on Super Audio Compact Disc SACD format.[3] Singled Out is distinguished by McEvoy's unmistakable voice and her unique approach to themes of love, lust, and humor. It distinctly chronicles McEvoy's progression from a band format to a solo artist with a clear vision of her music.
Singled Out includes one new song, "Oh Uganda", which was written by McEvoy after she visited Northern Uganda as part of her support for the work of Oxfam Unwrapped. Oxfam Ireland describes McEvoy's visit to the Kitgum region of Uganda saying, "McEvoy returned to Ireland following a week-long trip to Uganda with Oxfam Ireland. The Dublin musician experienced firsthand the benefits of Oxfam Ireland Unwrapped, an initiative that sends meaningful presents like clean drinking water, schoolbooks, and vegetable gardens to developing countries throughout Africa".[4] Oh Uganda includes harmony vocals from Ugandan singer Florence Mutesasira.
