Lola Scott – Take Me Back

One of Australia’s brightest exports of late is back with a new single that’s full of powerful pop and one of the sweetest choruses you’ll hear this week.

“I wrote Take Me Back in the perspective of being at the end of a long term relationship & reminiscing on when you first met and how easy it is to dive into something new with no fears & no walls up. Especially with those big loves of your life its easy to throw logic & overthinking out the window when you start seeing someone without being prepared to work through the struggles that most people face when a relationship gets more serious.”

ADMT – Dream

ADMT’s latest release fuses RnB with some pretty epic soul sounds.

“Dream is about Finding something worth striving for – looking at what is happening around us and in our lives and understanding that it doesn’t have to be that way. It won’t be that way forever, because everything is temporary. We have to believe that things will get better regardless of how negative a situation can seem.”

Troye Sivan – Take Yourself Home

“‘Take Yourself Home’ is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written. The song is kind of a pep talk with yourself and the place you’re from. Grappling with your place in the world. I write these songs as a diary entry, then as life and places change and relationships change, songs can take on a new meaning entirely. Clearly that has happened for this song with what is going on in the world right now.”

marcos g – hoodie

“I wrote this song after my ex gave me back my hoodie 1 month after we broke up, and I was thinking about what she said when she gave it back and how I felt when I later found the picture of the two of us from our first date in the hoodie pocket – it sent me on a whirlwind of emotions and I really wanted to capture that moment in this song to share with everybody who’s gone through something similar.”

New Music: Francis of Delirium

For all the young bands that are crafting their sound with inspirations from 90’s grunge rock, I have yet to be moved by any. That is, until I played this song from Francis of Delirium.

You’ll hear an essence of the 90’s, then once that first chorus kicks in you’re taken into a very special world which is both indie and yet somehow deeply emotional.

Dempsey Bolton – Slipping

“I wrote the song after getting ghosted by a love interest of mine. Even though I tried to forget about them by focusing on others who were interested in me, I couldn’t break away from constantly thinking about it. The whole idea is that everyone can be into you but as soon as one person isn’t, their opinion is the only one that matters.”

Taken from the debut EP, ‘Monochrome’.

XIRA – Tiptoe

Before you feel too connected with the lyrics, read what XIRA had to say about the song. Goes to show the transferable power of pop lyrics!

“This song was written about my cat, Muffin… who used to love me but now pretty much hates my guts. I guess you could say it’s a bit of a sing along for anyone who’s broken hearted (and a tiny little bit clingy).”

OLLIE – You & I

“Finding a balance in life and giving the people we love everything we know they deserve can be difficult at times, but through it all you stick by them. You wouldn’t trade the time you’ve spent by their side for anything, because loyalty means never leaving the people you love behind. I wrote this song for everyone who’s in love but also human, who makes mistakes. But also learns & grows. Forever it’s only you & I.”
