Dark Tropics Return with the Seductive New Single “You’re Mine”
By Dark Tropics, the Belfast-based duo, are fresh off their first sold-out show in Dublin — a night soaked in velvet vocals and cinematic lushness — and now return with their latest single “You’re Mine”, an intoxicating slice of noir-pop that cements their place among Ireland’s most intriguing acts.
Built around a rich, reverb-drenched guitar riff and the mesmeric, echo-laced vocals of Rio McGuinness, “You’re Mine” is instantly recognisable as a Dark Tropics creation. It’s seductive and shadowy — the kind of song made for late-night drives through empty streets or the closing credits of a heartbreak film.
McGuinness’s voice glides somewhere between tender one moment, dangerous the next — a tightrope between romance and recklessness, where every note dances like a flame in the dark. “You’re Mine” leans fully into their dark romanticism. It’s elegant but raw, all bruised melodies and cinematic tension.
Verdict
“You’re Mine” feels like a 70s TV show reimagined with a Dark Tropics twist — and it’s fab.
