In The Spotlight

Blank Instrument – “Know Nothing”

Based in Perth and born as Kim Franklin, this Australian singer-songwriter’s musical journey didn’t begin in her youth. She started as a wordsmith while maintaining a regular job. Using it as an outlet for her chaotic mind, she found her way to the piano and later the acoustic guitar, which she taught herself. Preferring tight-knit community shows, she’s performed at Clancy’s Fish Pub in Fremantle. Inspired by The Paper Kites and Mumford & Sons, she debuted with “Red” in 2020.

Celebrating the freedom of letting go and embracing the unknown, her new single reminds us that all of us are figuring life out as we go. Taken from her recently released album “Jumping At Ghosts”, this song has a warm, introspective country-folk melody. From the acoustic guitar, lively rhythm and Hammond Organ, to the unexpected glockenspiel, it’s a multi-layered soundscape. And with her honest and compelling vocals, this comforting tune opens us up to whatever the future holds.

In The Spotlight

Lucca Mae – “Is It Selfish”

Born in London and raised near Reading, this British singer-songwriter grew up in a music-loving household. Her father taught her to play guitar, but she wasn’t serious about it until she was 17. At 18, she moved to Australia and started busking. There she also fronted an Amy Winehouse tribute band. Since returning to the UK, she’s played venues like The Marquis and opened for Mavis Staples. Inspired by Nina Simone, Sam Cooke and Paolo Nutini, she debuted with “Next To You” in 2022.

Highlighting the mental exhaustion and isolation caused by unspoken truths, her new single explores the heavy toll of keeping secrets from others. Diving into a vintage melody of 60’s and 70’s soul, blues and jazz, this organic song has a haunting retro vibe. With authentic live percussion, swelling brass and swooning guitars forging the smoky, nostalgic atmosphere, it’s the gritty rasp in her melancholic vocals that turns this sweltering tune into an emotive confession about honesty.
