Shake off those Monday blues and make space for a little me time listening to “Ready,” the gorgeous new single from Naarm/Melbourne-based artist Honey Blue. Combining elements of R&B, jazz, and neo-soul, this is the kind of track that wraps around you and helps every cell in your body feel calmer. It’s easy to get swept away by the sound of the lush production and Honey Blue’s sublime vocals, but make sure you listen to those relatable lyrics too.
“’Ready’ came from a place where staying the same felt heavier than changing,” Honey Blue said. “It’s about choosing growth over comfort, shedding old versions of yourself, letting go of what holds you back, and trusting what comes next.”
Amen to all of that! This is Honey Blue’s first release since she dropped “That Far” in mid-2023, and it sends a clear message to fans that she’s back and ready to start the next chapter. I’ll be listening.
