Based in Perth, this Australian singer and songwriter started writing music when she was 12 years old after getting an electric guitar as a gift. In 2020 she made her first mark on the music scene with “Fast Cars Mash Up Cover”, a medley of Tracy Chapman songs, in collaboration with Callaa. Compared to artists like Missy Higgins and CXLOE and drawing inspiration from artists such as Chillinit, Peach PRC and Sam Fender, she debuted her own, original material on “I’m Feeling” in 2021.
Although written years ago, the subject matter of her new single, being the tribulations of having to remain hidden in a same sex relationship, remains as poignant as always. Taken from her upcoming debut EP “Sidelined”, expected on September 12th, she enriched her empowering lyrics with a nostalgia-infused melody. Setting the scene with a slow synth, the song evolves with a gentle beat and warm electric guitars. And with her emotive vocals, this is a heartfelt gem.

Emphasising the importance of self-care and the need to step away from being a people-pleaser all the time, her new single teaches the value of boundaries. Choosing to envelop her lyrics in a prominent pop melody, the influence of her country stylings is still present. Starting with an airy, celestial synth drone, the song ascends to its bustling chorus, with lively drums, fiery guitars and sparkling keys. And with her bubbly vocals, this uplifting tune is as inspirational as it is sonic fun.
