One of the biggest bangers of the week comes courtesy of rising Australian starlet ALBI. and her new single, ‘CRASHOUT’.
The production is unashamedly bold, fusing electronica and dance with pop to create a sound that is sharp, confrontational, and intense. Lyrically, the track was inspired by the moment when you run out of patience with someone and start putting some boundaries in place.
Fans will be glad to learn that a new EP is on the way. ALBI. plays Brisbane on the 26th of March with DEVAURA and will also perform in London this May.
ALBI. is rapidly carving a name for herself as one of Australia’s most exciting electronic-pop prospects.
While this Brisbane-based musician only debuted last winter, she has already built up a steady fanbase across social media and accumulated thousands of streams from just three singles.
‘LVR GRL’ is the artist’s latest release, and perfectly balances dance-pop with elements of nostalgic garage and drum’n’bass. Elaborating on the track’s lyricism, ALBI. explains:
“I got tired of the dead end relationships and pouring my love into broken cups so I wrote this song as a reminder to never settle for less than the love I now know I deserve. The lesson is no ‘LVR GRL’ treatment for people that show bum behaviour and embrace the fact you can love yourself enough to set boundaries that support this. If the message resonates with you, remember you are more than deserving of the love you give to others but never settle because nothing is more important than the love you give to yourself first. Class dismissed.”
With support from respected industry tastemakers like Triple J, DNü and DMY, as well as featured spots on prominent flagship Spotify playlists, ALBI, is well on her way to becoming a star.
