New Song Obsession: "Between the Lines" by Evermore

A few months ago I mentioned Evermore was offering free downloads of their new single “Between the Lines.” Now the song’s been released officially, and we can see the film clip. It’s a new darker direction for the lads, and I’m not just talking about the CSI-style lighting in the music video! But a change is as good as a holiday, and their risk taking has really paid dividends here. I love it!

New Song Obsession: "Burn" by Jessica Mauboy

Jessica Mauboy is fast becoming Australia’s answer to Rihanna. Her new single “Burn” is another sizzling slice of soulful pop. I think this is even catchier than “Running Back,” so I won’t be surprised if it scorches up the charts. With it’s R’n’ B grooves and catchy chorus, this is likely to be the song you’ll be humming all summer.

Download Free Evermore Single

We all love something for nothing, especially when it’s from one of the hottest bands in the country. So it’s pretty exciting to hear that Evermore are offering their fans a free download of their new single “Between the Lines.”

Lead singer Jon Hume said the song was inspired by the different media coverage he saw looking at Thai and Sydney newspapers on a stopover in Thailand.

“They were both touting stories of the APEC and the G8 summit, but displaying almost everyone in a very different shade of colour. Policies, quotes, promises were different. It was charming editorialism at it’s best.  That was when I realized that if you don’t make up your own mind, someone’s gonna make it up for you. Therein was the theme of looking between the lines,” he explained in a press statement.

“Musically, the song came to us at the beginning of a search for a new musical experience for us as a band. We feel like this song is a big departure for us and wanna give everyone a chance to hear it. That’s why we’re giving it away. If you like us or hate us, give this new track a spin. It’s free music without the guilt!”

Jon makes perfect sense! Head to Evermore’s official website to download this fab new song!

New Song Obsession: "Hollywood" by Angus & Julia Stone

With their stripped back instrumentation and folky vocals, Aussie outfit Angus & Julia Stone create some of my favourite chill-out music. Right now I’m digging their latest single “Hollywood.” If you’ve got their brilliant debut A Book Like This in your collection, you know it already. For anyone who doesn’t hopefully it’ll turn you on to this fantastic local duo. The trippy dreamscape filmclip is the perfect accompaniment for this beautiful tune. Sit back and enjoy it!
