This is a really soulful pop song. I love Kee'ahn. They're one of my favourite Australian artists who I was fortunate enough to meet a couple of years ago when I did the Milk Records Christmas Tour. If I was a manager, I would definitely manage this person.
Cool Sounds are really cool. They're really cool and really cute. If you like to dance, I think you might like this song.
If you have the chance to Mildlife perform, do it. It's a really groovy experience. This is a pretty groovy song.
I met Ngaiire a very long time ago when John Butler and his wife first started the JB Seed grants program supporting independent artists. I've followed Ngaiire ever since. This song once is such a great pop song, and to hear the live version is a really special occasion.
Grace Cummings has a background, I do believe, as an actor and a writer, as well as a songwriter. She's got a new album out [Ramona]. This single is really addictive. The drumming, to me, is very reminiscent of a particular Kate Bush song. You can work out what that is, if you so desire.
Let's finish with my latest single.
