Music
A creatively intentional fusion of nostalgic boyband pop and edgy, performative hip hop. DON’T WATCH TV bring back the energy and catchy licks of a simpler era, with the anthemic harmonies and industrial, playful rhythms of their brand new album 99 DEGREES.
North Indian music meets a dreamy acoustic pop sound and melody, to introduce the uniquely calming creative corner of Suchetana Sinha’s music.
Halen Lock is a published poet, songwriter, producer and artist, whose repertoire of songs is instantly alluring for its genre-free soundscapes and the evocative, honest and interesting melodic stories that accompany them.
Ashtray Jonny writes, produces and performs from the heart, without fear of being vulnerable and creatively uninhibited, and this quality lets his music feel relevant and stylish but also interesting, unpredictable, and inherently inspiring.
Categorically one of the best feel-good soul-rock songs of the year – Elizabeth P.W. captures an intoxicating groove and melody combination, amidst the inspired depth and passion of the mighty Head West.
Ultimately blending hip hop and RnB within a sweeping arrangement of synths, keys and modest rhythms, F.W.M is beautifully passionate, and close to euphoric as it builds, but there’s never a heavy drop – the song redirects us every time, towards something more mysterious, and again beautifully in tune with the excitement and uncertainty of the topic.
Dolce Wang quite cleverly intertwines melancholy and optimism throughout this album, a subtle sadness countered by a subtle level of excitement from one song to the next. This represents both the limitless and uncertain qualities of traveling really well, in my view.
Cinematic visuals, mid-music skits and scenes, with an old school RnB core and modern production that’s uniquely recognisable. Cece draws you right into the feelings and characters of her latest single, with the creative twists, turns, and catchy chorus of One of One.
Making sure to pair the sonic creativity of immersive, purposeful music, with passionate and interesting songwriting – Brisbane artist Harley delivers an evocative and euphoric new single, for GOLD.
Australian artists Georgia Scarlett and Joel Spence each bring delightfully unique voices to the scene, for the collaborative dynamic of Honey Let’s Go.
The song is both timeless and genre-free, in a sense – the purity of real music and quietly compelling voices, guiding us through simple, universal statements, which remind us to strive for peace, to carry peace within us, and to never give up hope.
