In The Spotlight

Katie Reid – “Healing”

Hailing from Sydney, this rising Australian singer and songwriter started exploring her love of piano, singing and writing while studying at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. Since graduating she’s been singing backing vocals for Guy Sebastian and Christine Anu. Inspired by artists such as Lianne La Havas, Emily King and Maggie Rogers, she debuted with “London Town” in 2021.

Written when the pandemic had just emerged and she had to fly back to Australia from London where she lived at the time, her new single is a mixture of a emotions she felt and the choice to take time to focus on herself. Intricately composed with multi-layered elements, it’s the easy-going keys, jazzy rhythm and her bewitching vocals that give this dynamic smooth groove a velveteen flow.

In The Spotlight

The Rions – “Take What You Want”

Consisting of the 4 school friends Noah Blockley, Harley Wilson, Asher McClean and Tom Partington, this Australian indie-rock band got together to enter a talent show in high school. In 2021 they won Triple J’s Unearthed High competition. They’ve played festivals like Bluesfest and Grapevine Gathering. Inspired by Arctic Monkeys, Dayglow and The Beatles, they debuted with “Halfway Out” in 2020.

Lyrically capturing the end of a toxic relationship, their new single joins their emotional words with a laid-back rock melody. Taken from their EP “Minivan”, it’s the retro-touched mellow rhythm and gentle electric guitars that first draw you in, before the anthemic chorus injects some added oomph. And with their 90s-sounding vocals, this lush tune takes your ears all over the indie-rock spectrum.
