"Celebrate" was the first single Ireland's An Emotional Fish pulled from their self-titled 1990 debut, and it arrives with its chest out, the sound of a band with no interest in leaning on the old country's folk traditions: frontman Gerard Whelan, who wrote most of the album, steered well clear of them. This one carries a shared writing credit, split between Whelan, David Frew, Martin Murphy and John Patrick Anthony Burke.
Tim Palmer produced it in Dublin, picked by the band because they admired his knack for getting a live feel onto tape, and Chris Sheldon engineered. The Boston Globe rated it among the best singles of its season, and "Grey Matter" came next as the follow-up.
