RELEASES
Una Healy has released new single ‘This Is Your Life’. “I originally started writing ‘This Is Your Life’ nearly 25 years ago when I was a teenager, when I was just beginning my career as a singer-songwriter”, she says. “I went back to it many times over the years, but was never able to finish it until recently. I realise now that I never had the life experience or perspective to get to the heart of the song until now”.
Avawaves have released ‘Surf High’, taken from their soundtrack to upcoming documentary ‘Savage Waters’. The full album is out on 11 Nov.
Rozi Plain has released new single ‘Prove Your Good’, taken from her fifth album ‘Prize’, which is out on 13 Jan. “’Prove Your Good’ is thinking about the often silent fight within us”, she says. “Trying to come good, trying to not be bad. Feeling judged and judging ourselves. The small re-writing we can do of bits of our own history. The painful shift of changing favourites. Rearranging the leader board. Knowing things must be simpler but going after the tricky stuff anyway”. She and her band will also be touring the UK from January through to March.
Joan have released their first single of 2022, ‘Don’t Wanna Be Your Friend’.
Maja Lena has released new single ‘Clear As The Water’. “I was feeling very inspired by mountain-scapes when I wrote it, and the feelings of clarity and fresh perspective I often have when immersed in nature, especially in a vast and dramatic landscape where you can feel very small and insignificant yet very free”, she says. “I wanted the music to have a feeling of euphoria to mirror this and also be fun and uplifting”. Her new album, ‘Pluto’, is out on 2 Dec.
Mellow Rackz has released new single ‘Rich Bitch Party’.
