In The Spotlight

Dan Sultan – “Forgiveness”

Hailing from Melbourne, this Australian singer and songwriter was born to an Arrernte/Gurindji mother and grew up surrounded by the indigenous culture. He started playing guitar aged 4 and wrote his first song aged 10. Although he started in a punk band, he chose the blues and roots his dad showed him. He’s played festivals like Splendour In The Grass and Byron Bay Bluesfest. Inspired by Jimi Hendrix, Sam Cooke and Buddy Holly, he debuted with “Your Love Is Like A Song” in 2006.

Showing the importance of forgiveness and letting go of past regrets, his new single highlights how not to run away from old mistakes but to accept them. Taken from his upcoming album “Little Miracles”, expected on October 23rd, this anthemic song blends classic rock with gospel-tinged soul and a stadium-sized, Coldplay vibe. With imposing drums, soaring orchestral strings and gritty electric guitars filling the euphoric melody, it’s his weathered vocals that give this groove true gravitas.
