Dwynwen – Candelas

‘Dwynwen’ will be released on the I KA CHING record label on 11 September 2026. The album ‘Pop Cymraeg’ will be released on 20 November 2026.

Having already been struck by the title track from Candelas’ fourth album before the summer, “Pop Cymraeg”, here comes another powerful and compelling track to leave us floored before the album reaches our hands.

“At its core, this is a love song,” explains Osian, the band’s lead singer. “My sister had a baby not long ago, and the moment Iheard the name in the car, the song’s hook came straight into my head.” 

“I think this is one of the most enjoyable songs I’ve ever written, and I love that a Jeff Buckley influence somehow found its way into it out of nowhere! This song contains everyone in the band’s favourite moment on the album… but we’re not going to tell you where!”

‘Dwynwen’ will be Radio Cymru’s Track of the Week on Monday 7 September 2026, and a music video will follow very soon.

“Pop Cymraeg” will be released on 20 November, and there will be an opportunity to see a live performance of the entire work at a special launch event at Theatr Derek Williams, Bala, on 28 November. Tickets will be available from the theatre’s website.
