In The Spotlight

Laura Lucas – “Woman”

Canadian-born and Australia-based, this singer and songwriter picked up a guitar aged 10 and got into songwriting a year later. Also a poet, she got enamoured by the story-telling aspect of songwriting. In 2019 she moved to Melbourne and immersed herself in the bustling local music scene. Since then she’s collaborated with artists like Lawson Hull and supported Harrison Storm and LANKS. Inspired by Phoebe Bridgers, Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift, she released her debut “Poetry” in 2019.

With philosophical musings about the still present patriarchal culture and how this shapes the self-perception of women, her new single questions that status quo. Taken from her upcoming album “There’s A Place I Go”, expected on November 14th, the song takes elements of folk and pop and fuses them together. Starting with a calm electric guitar, that guides us through the melody, it’s joined by driving drums. And with her authentic vocals, this tune is filled with emotional depth.

In The Spotlight

Benjamino – “Own Two Feet”

Born as Benjamin Cauduro, this Australian singer and songwriter grew up being engrossed by the vast variety of music they heard on the radio. At 14 they realised they wanted a career in music. Apart from performing, they’re also a seasoned audio engineer, having mixed live broadcasts from Sydney Opera House, as well as recording Voice-Overs for Disney and Netflix. Inspired by Father John Misty, Billy Joel and Rex Orange County, they released their debut “To My Future Self” in 2019.

Singing about the sheer liberating freedom that’s felt when leaving a toxic environment, their new single is a celebration of that new-found independence. Taken from their upcoming album “Cucino”, expected in November, the song blends feel-good R&B with neo-soul and a dollop of nostalgia. Starting with a cheesy muzak beat, it evolves with a 70s vibe from the cheery piano and a punchy rhythm. And with an ear-stroking flute solo and their warm vocals, this tune is a bubbly treat.
