MUSIC EDIT
‘i don’t wanna be here’ is a raw and empathetic introduction to Charlie Pittman, the singer/songwriter releasing their first single and I had the lucky opportunity to chat with him ahead of his performance with Drax Project in Sydney and a headline show in London.
American singer-songwriter, Chelsea Cutler is no stranger to baring her soul in the name of her art. Known for mega-hits such as ‘This is How You Fall in Love’ and ‘Your Bones’. Cutler went from releasing music onto Soundcloud almost a decade ago, to performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October. Honing her skills in Americana, electronica and folk, Cutler has continued to flourish and mature in her songwriting with vulnerability and grace. Upon her visit to Australia this May, we got to chat with the singer/songwriter.
This artist has always found a spot in every-single-playlist. With music for anyone and everyone, Thomas Headon is back with another hit ‘Middle Of The Night’ and I got to chat to him about the single.
REVIEWS
It’s the start of a new September season, and what better way to kick off a new EP - “Analysis Paralysis” by everyone’s favourite headline Australian artist MAY-A. One of the most influential rising artists who has worked with international music sensations 5 Seconds Of Summer, Flume and Wallows, MAY-A continues to be a leading force in the music industry since her debut EP “Don’t Kiss Ur Friends” back in 2021.
Worried that there have not been enough big releases from local artists recently? Well, fear not. Enter G Flip, one of Australia’s surprise musical hot properties, and their new album, the appropriately titled Drummer. I confess I knew relatively little about the Naarm / Melbourne singer & drummer when I started this review. Happily, however, that means we’re working with a blank slate, so this album can be judged more accurately on its merits in a vacuum.
Typically here at Unraveled, we like to cover (relatively) new releases, giving you a deep dive into what’s what in the local and international music and fashion scenes. This review is going to be a little different though - it’s more of a tribute to a criminally underrated and almost totally obscure album. 0151 is the debut LP of Liverpool-based indie rock group The Night Cafe, which was released in 2019.
LISTEN
An introspective yet expansive alt-pop gem, the brand new single ‘Her’ from Aotearoa New Zealand artist Isla Noon is a driving new outing, also fittingly accompanied by an intimate and energetic music video.
We are so excited to introduce you to færy - the up-and-coming artist based in our home country, Australia. Behind the project, is filmmaker, actor, writer, and artist Liana Cornell who just released her debut single blýth last week.
June proved to be anything but dull with a swathe of new releases from artists big and small. Here’s a few of Unraveled’s favourites from the month.
LIVE
We’re not okay! Olivia Rodrigo is heading to Melbourne & Sydney on her GUTS world tour this October! After two record breaking albums, SOUR and GUTS with Grammy-award winning producer Daniel Nigro. The Drivers License singer is finally heading to Australia for her first ever shows in Melbourne and Sydney.
R&B artists from across the globe have been making their name in big cities. Mahalia - also known as the UK’s R&B sweetheart, had graciously made her way down to Australia. Singing to sold-out shows across the country, her last stop at the Forum Melbourne was nothing but unforgettable.
After One Direction’s split nearly a decade ago, the world was curious about where each member would go. Now on his third album and second world tour, there is no doubt that Niall Horan is here to stay. His soft rock/pop approach with a real old-school love for music has allowed Horan to find his sound and fans aren’t disappointed.
