The new single “Around The World” from creative visionaries Teanga Teanga. The acclaimed duo is the collaborative project of New York ethereal art-pop artist Pamela Sue Mann, and Dublin composer-producer Paul Murphy (pxmurphy). Pamela Sue Mann, whose work is praised by Laurie Anderson as “a masterpiece,” has collaborated with Suzanne Vega, Donna Lewis, and Gerry Leonard, while PXMurphy is known for his role in the critically-acclaimed band Electric Penguins (NPR, BBC, Sounds From The City, etc).
Together, the duo create a transformative and otherworldly musical journey. Their new single “Around The World” is a lush pop meets indie electronic reimagining of the original made famous by Nat King Cole. The single features pastel-dipped keys, cinematic synths, spectral textures, and sweeping strings. Pamela Sue Mann’s deliciously enigmatic vocals add an unexpected dimension to the track.

PXMurphy is known for his work in television and advertising music, as well as for his role in Electric Penguins. The new single emerged organically from experimental studio sessions and file-sharing between the pair. “We suddenly got inspired by something,” Murphy explains during a recent Zoom conversation. “If we both buzz off it, we start digging in and seeing what comes out.” For Mann, the challenge was finding an emotional truth inside such an iconic song. “If you’re going to do a cover,” she says, “you’ve got to have something soulful — depth, honesty, empathy. Otherwise you’re just doing a cover.” The duo describe the recording as “time travel through music,” blending echoes of 1950s cinema, 1970s pop sincerity, ambient electronica, and avant-garde theatre influences into something entirely their own. “It’s a completely different song,” Mann reflects, “and at the same time, it has the same heart.” “Around The World” by Teanga Teanga is released worldwide on June 26th,2026.

Their new single is a haunting re-imagining of the classic “Around The World.” Originally made famous by Nat King Cole, the 1956 standard is transformed into a synth pop-electro meditation on memory, longing, time, and emotional authenticity. Rather than recreating the orchestral grandeur of the original, Teanga Teanga excavates its emotional core and rebuilds it through cinematic synths, spectral textures, spoken passages, sweeping strings, and Pamela Sue Mann’s intimate, deeply human vocal performance.
