Always unpredictable yet heartfelt, Eddie Wang consistently releases original songs that intrigue by both topic and design.
For his latest offering, Eddie presents the theatre-style depth of his voice by way of a long-form ballad and a brilliantly memorable pop hook.
Conceptually deep and provocative by nature, there’s more to love about Abstract with each re-listen. The production and melody create a shoulder-swaying groove that’s a pleasure to let play, but then on closer inspection, the lyrics prompt you to become inescapably aware of the fragility of life and the inevitable passing of time.
This is one of those songs that can’t be done any real justice in writing. Rich Strater creates a space within which listeners can reflect and ponder the world and the past in their own unique way.
Wildly uplifting and intimate in its realness and colour, Joshy Connor’s album Love unknown feels like a genuine expression of connection and joy. Not a project written out of the common search for fame, but one that simply could not remain unwritten.
From the upcoming collaborative EP White Elephant, Leaky Ship unites artists BenBen and Lily Desmond, for a metaphorical deep-dive into the art of appreciating the beauty of the world; even when the boat you’re floating upon is doomed to sink.
Inspired by the style of Brian Fallon and Bob Dylan, the approach and set-up are timeless, while the songwriting feels fresh, honest, and showcases the unique nuances of Peter’s genuine voice in both lyric and tone.
bert. balances scorn and even cursing with clear optimism and poetic colour, and the result is a strangely intoxicating, simple yet striking song, which again proves a memorable highlight from this uniquely compelling album.
If ever the word original should feel completely at ease alongside an independent artist, bert. deserves that title, and the songwriting is wonderful to match.
Created in direct response to the consistent rise of conflict and hate in the USA, Big Bus Dream releases the evocative protest single AMERICAN – an organic soft-rock arrangement and song reflecting on times past and the subsequent downward spiral of division and violence.
Ultra Feminist isn’t purely a call out to all feminists, but a personal ode to an artist’s own liberation from a tumultuous and isolating past. It’s a heavy topic, but the song has a certain lightness and positivity to it, which works well to juxtapose the issues within. In other words – If you like the title; you’ll love the song.
It’s a bittersweet contemplation, and the song has been crafted quite perfectly – a catchy hit that calls out with passion and power on behalf of the dreams we fail to achieve; and those we can still go after. Somewhat brave but respectable in its unadulterated honesty – No Mo Money is an absolute hit, and faultlessly delivered.
Unplugged folk warmth from a handful of stringed instruments leads us into the vocal quickness and character of Tague Wilkins – a songwriting storyteller with a unique tone of voice.
