Anna WeatherupAnna Weatherup first came to the public’s attention via The Voice, Australia. For many artists, the effects of such an experience can be overwhelmingly positive, and for others, it leads them down that strange road of reflection and career recalibration; which can be equally positive, if not more so.
Anna Weatherup has no doubt gone through such a period and the results of these inner travels are evocatively defined in her new single's Little Bluebird, Passenger and Anna's recent release, The River. Taken from her forthcoming album Crossing the Sea, which will be release in early March 2023, the alt-pop rock gems, are an expansive aural interpretation of struggle and fortitude, with Anna’s persuasive vocal performance at the helm. Little Bluebird has also been described as "inviting and introspective, haunting and comfortable, with alt-country leanings, Little Bluebird’s origins are as honest and engaging as the song itself".
Anna's new work is an exploration of self-belief, renewal, and positivity concealed amid the tumbling rhythms of fiery guitar lines and ecclesiastical background vocals. And the direct fearless nature of the lyrics are a darker element which is much harder to define; a kind of teeming force that propels this track forward without dragging it into the dust of indifference and defeat. -
Amy VeeAmy Vee writes music that both disquiets and mollifies the soul. Her songs are driven by a poetic lyricism that resonates as deeply with those seeking comfort and connection as it does with those seeking escape.
A skilled multi-instrumentalist and award-winning composer and performer, Vee’s latest works sit somewhere between indie folk and ambient dream pop.
