Sydney-based singer-songwriter Lucy Burke has just released her highly anticipated EP, Meet Me There, which premiered exclusively via AAA Backstage

Meet Me There is a collection of songs about the moments, people, and versions of ourselves that stay with us. The EP ushers in a new creative era for Burke, defined by organic instrumentation and contemporary warmth. The project deepens her cinematic pop sound, with nuanced vocal phrasing and moments of gentle jazz influence woven naturally into her storytelling. 

In March, Lucy released her single, Little Ol’ Me, which was the first offering from her new EP. The single premiered exclusively via AAA Backstage and has secured widespread community and independent radio support worldwide.

She then followed-up with the release of her single and music video, One Way Track, which premiered exclusively via The AU Review. Most recently, Lucy unveiled the final single and video from the EP called Good Ol’ Days, which premiered via Scenestr.

Meet Me Thereis out now via all major streaming services.  
Good Ol’ Days is positive synthpop, wrapped together with a stylish rhythm that radiates positive feels. Lucy’s clean, crystal-clear vocals highlight the song, uplifting the soul with her inclusiveness, almost as if she’s singing to you directly.”

“A smooth, late-night groove wrapped in cinematic warmth, One Way Track leans into a hazy trip hop palette — all warm synths, understated beats and a vocal that drifts effortlessly through the mix. There’s a quiet confidence in Burke’s delivery here, one that draws you in slowly before revealing the emotional weight beneath its cool exterior.”

Montreal-based multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Alanna Sterling (they/them) shares “Down,” an energetic and emotionally charged pop/indie rock single that transforms a moment of uncertainty into one of resilience and release. Upbeat, empowering, and full of forward momentum, the track captures the strange clarity that can emerge when everything seems to be falling apart at once.

Inspired by a real-life experience while travelling, “Down” began after Alanna found themselves stranded and alone with a dead phone battery, no money, and no way to reconnect with friends. Armed with only a skateboard and guitar, they sat outside a strip mall busking for spare change before being confronted by police and threatened with a hefty fine for performing on private property.

“After reviving my phone, I called my friends, found a secluded area under a palm tree, and wrote the whole song in 15 minutes while I waited for them to pick me up,” Alanna explains. “My songs come from an emotionally charged space, so when I feel intense emotions, I get them out in a song to process.”

Toronto’s Victoria Staff unveils her debut album Pink Magnolia alongside its lead single “Take Me Home,” arriving together as a fully realized introduction to her world. Equal parts playful and reflective, the record captures both the thrill of being young and untethered and the quieter, more complex process of figuring out who you are.

Written and recorded alongside producer Will Crann, Pink Magnolia embraces collaboration and imperfection. From spontaneous studio moments to trying ideas with no clear outcome, the process was guided by curiosity rather than precision. “It reminded me why I fell in love with music,” Victoria notes. That sense of freedom runs through the record, giving it a loose, lived-in quality that mirrors its themes of growth and self-acceptance.

Sydney based singer/songwriter Katy Denney is back with her endearing new single called ‘Flowers In My Hair’, which premiered via Triple J Unearthed and The AU Review.

The new single is the latest offering from her upcoming EP release, which is set to drop on June 12. 

“Flowers in My Hair is about the small things that people leave with you as you go through life. I think in some way, parts of us end up a collection of other people’s habits. It’s such a delicate thing to feel and sometimes weird to discover – that a mundane thing like the way you cross the street or take your coffee is borrowed from or learned together with someone else.”

Katy Denney debuted in 2023 with the release of her self-produced single called‘Never Thought I Would Miss You’, which has since amassed over 100k streams on Spotify. 

Katy recently released her single called ‘Bad At This’, which was the first offering from her upcoming EP release. The single was premiered via ABC Country and
The AU Review, and quickly gained airplay via Triple JUnearthed RadioDouble J and many more stations around the world.

New single called ‘Flowers In My Hair’ is available on all major online stores and streaming services
