Jazz Party Delivers With “Drowning”

Melbourne’s Jazz Party takes listeners on a wild ride with its new single “Drowning.” Released today, the track travels at a frenetic pace, with driving drums, heavy-handed piano, bold horns, and sexy, sassy vocals from Loretta Miller.

She says “Drowning” is “about finding a release and revelling in your darkest places. The kind of song you can join in on and dance around your room in an ecstatic way.”

“Drowning” comes from Jazz Party’s forthcoming debut album Monday Night, which gets released on November 3. The band will celebrate its launch with the following shows.

11 November 2017 – The Croxton Bandroom, Melbourne
16 November 2017 – The Flamin’ Galah, Brisbane
16-19 November 2017 – Mullum Music Festival, Mullumbimby
24–26 November 2017 – Queenscliff Music Festival, Queenscliff

Mike Waters Collaborates with Max Frost on “Drowning”

Local urban artist Mike Waters has teamed up with American pop act Max Frost for an exciting new track “Drowning.”

“Drowning,” which Mike says is “about becoming completely consumed and overwhelmed by the pressure you put on yourself to succeed,” is such a catchy track. I can hear so many influences in it, yet the way it’s put together is totally unique. It’s so clever. I’ve listened to it several times this morning and I’m still hearing different things.

Mike will launch the single on April 7 at Melbourne’s Wesley Anne before joining Lewis Watson for his national tour in June.

Asha Impresses With “Drowning”

You know those voices that you just stop you in your tracks because they are so beautiful? You’re about to hear one.

This is Asha, a Central Coast songbird with skills beyond her 18 years. She’s been playing shows in Newcastle and Sydney and even scored supporting gigs with Alex Lloyd and Diesel. Now with the release of her debut single “Drowning,” she sure to step out of the shadows.

Her voice is divine, but she backs it up with some fierce songwriting skills. Asha wrote “Drowning” about a toxic relationship and then worked with producer Rod McCormack to create a sound which fused Asha’s love of acoustic music with modern electronica.

“This is the music that I want to keep creating. I’d love to keep evolving within this genre. But at the same time I’m not going to limit myself to anything,” Asha states. “Drowning was a song that I wrote and then forgot about. It wasn’t even going to make the EP. One day I was reminded of the song, and we ended up recording it and it even superseded the title track of the EP Illusions, as we chose it to be my debut single.”

You can hear more from Asha when Illusions drops on February 3.
