OH! Daisy Releases Cathartic New Track, “Just Say”

OH! Daisy delivers a punky punch of feminine energy with their latest single “Just Say.’ If you prefer women who speak up rather than act like delicate flowers, I know this one will resonate with you.

“I hope for anyone who relates, that you’re not there anymore. That you’re listening to it past that feeling,” admitted OH! Daisy’s frontwoman Bambi O’Kelly “If you’re there, I hope this makes you feel seen. You shouldn’t need to beg someone for more for the rest of your life.”

“Just Say” comes with OH! Daisy’s very first music video, which was directed by the band’s bassist Emma Friday, who is also the director of Staircase Creative.

“In OH! Daisy we’ve always had a quasi-psychic connection where we see the vision of our projects very clearly, so I had a crystal-clear picture in my head of what we were making,” Emma said. “We are so proud of it!”

The release of “Just Say” marks a new musical chapter for OH! Daisy, who dropped their debut EP It’s Okay I’m Ugly Too last year. I can’t wait to hear all the new music to come from this exciting act.

Raise a Glass to Aussie Expat Brittany Elise’s “You Look Like”

With her latest single, “You Look Like,” Aussie starlet Brittany Elise proves she may just be our next big country export. She’s currently based in Nashville, where she penned this country-pop banger with Michael Saleta and Jake Arthur.

“I had been in a Nashville bar listening to live music the night before our write and I heard this lady ask a man she had just met to buy her a drink,” Brittany recalled. “I wanted to capture that flirty, confident energy where you’re not overthinking it, you’re just going for it and Michael had the title ‘You Look Like I Need A Drink’. This song came from that fun, little cheeky, in-the-moment feeling – you see someone across the room and just know there’s a spark.”

Americans will have plenty of opportunities to see Brittany playing shows around Tennessee in the coming weeks. If you’re around, make sure you get out there and support this Aussie talent.

Eliza Hull Returns With “Hotel Room”

Eliza Hull is back with new original music, her first in three years. Her latest indie-pop ballad “Hotel Room” is one of her most revealing yet, and if you know how personal her lyrics have been in the past, you know that’s a massive deal.

“‘Hotel Room’ is probably one of the most vulnerable songs I’ve ever written, me at my most exposed and unguarded – like you’ve accidentally walked into this London hotel room and I’m still in the middle of figuring something out,” Eliza said. “I travelled to the UK, where I wrote with 12 songwriters in 14 days – which, looking back now, was completely wild; I was exhausted and had a breakdown. As a mother and at this stage of my life, I feel more driven than ever to express myself honestly: we rarely hear stories or songs about women moving toward midlife – especially women who are unraveling, becoming undone, questioning everything, wanting more, wanting less, changing shape in real time. There’s still this expectation that women should either remain desirable, composed and certain, or quietly disappear. I’m interested in the messier in-between place. The strange, tender, human parts we don’t often sing about out loud. It feels important to explore that honestly.

“‘Hotel Room’ isn’t a story about waiting to be rescued by someone else – it’s about trying to reconnect with your own inner self after feeling completely lost. I’m overseas, alone in a hotel room, spiralling through this reckoning with myself. The person I’m searching for isn’t somebody else – it’s me. The version that feels centred and whole. Recording in London with producer James Knight, the whole thing came together in this intense, electric rush. We only had half a day together, I arrived with just the bare bones of the song. James works so instinctively – every idea felt immediate, alive, and emotionally charged – which perfectly matched what the song was trying to say. That idea became the heart of the music video.”

“Hotel Room” is out now. Hopefully it’s just the start of a new chapter of music for Eliza.

Ziggy Alberts Puts Folk Spin on The Proclaimers’ Hit

I didn’t have Ziggy Alberts covering the Proclaimers on my 2026, but here we are! His take on the 1988 banger “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” is stripped back to put the focus on those sweet lyrics. Rest assured, he doesn’t mess too much with it. I know you’re still going to be singing along to this one!

Ziggy apparently recorded this cover in Cavanbah/Byron Bay with longtime collaborator Garrett Kato for a film sync opportunity. Now though we all get the chance to hear it and add it to our road trip playlists. The music video, shot across Kabi Kabi County/Sunshine Coast, captures those road trip vibes.

Gypsy Lee Releases Angsty Pop Bop, “What Doesn’t Kill You Costs a Lot in Therapy

Naarm/Melbourne artist Gypsy Lee’s latest single “What Doesn’t Kill You Costs a Lot in Therapy” is the edgy indie-pop track you need to hear right now. Gypsy Lee actually penned this one during her hometown’s COVID-19 lockdowns, but it speaks to the angst many of us continue to feel when the future’s uncertain.

“I wrote this song with my good friend Thrones (Andrew Lowden),” Gypsy Lee said. “The song became my way of expressing just how upsetting that time was as a teenage girl. It was obviously a riff on what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, but at that time I didn’t feel like it was making me stronger, it was just a never-ending compilation of failure.”

Although this single came from a dark place, it now carries a thread of optimism and resilience.

“This song feels like the last little piece of my teenage-hood,” Gypsy Lee said. “I had a really hard time fitting in growing up and I think this song came from trying to make sense of feelings I didn’t really have the words for back then. I stick to the belief that it’s an artist’s job to create the music from experience but once it’s shared it doesn’t belong to you anymore. If this song finds someone who feels the same way, or makes them feel understood for even a moment, that means everything to me. This song is for you.”

Gypsy Lee will officially launch “What Doesn’t Kill You Costs a Lot in Therapy” for hometown fans at Shotkickers on June 18.

Oliver Cronin Releases Long-Distance Love Song, “7500 Miles”

As someone who lived through a long-distance relationship while dating my now-husband, I’m relating hard to Oliver Cronin’s new single “7500 Miles.” It’s a romantic pop ditty that eloquently expresses the frustration of being so far from the one you love.

“I wrote ‘7500 Miles’ whilst on a writing trip in LA,” Oliver recalled. “The last two years of my life has seen my music take me all around the world. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been an absolute privilege, but I found myself missing home a lot more than I expected. I got married last year in February and then two weeks later was on tour in Europe for a month. After Europe, I went straight to LA to work on new music, which birthed this song. All I could think about was going home to my wife and so naturally that’s what we wrote about. 7500 miles is the distance between Sydney and LA. This is for anyone who has been apart from someone they love for an extended period of time; long distance isn’t easy, but it sure does make the heart grow fonder.”

“7500 Miles” comes from Oliver’s new EP Lost on the Way to Paradise, which drops on Friday, July 17. Oliver will give fans a sneaky early listen to his new tracks when he plays Urban Alley Brewery in Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong Country/Chadstone on July 4.

Tilly Fenton Drops Crowdpleasing New Pop Gem, “I Just Wanna Kiss You”

On a gloomy NSW day, Tilly Fenton is bringing the sunshine with her poppy new single “I Just Wanna Kiss You.” This catchy bop captures the exhilaration and passion of a new love.

“It’s rooted in those small, in between moments where everything feels light, but there’s this quiet urgency underneath it.. like wanting to show someone you’re in it for real, before the moment slips away,” Tilly explained.

I’m here for the ‘90s-inspired music video which features some of Tilly’s nearest and dearest.

“From the beginning, I knew I wanted this video to have my friends in it, because it feels like a song I would sing and dance along to with my girlfriends on a night out,” Tilly said. “Then director Michelle Pitiris came on board to bring the concept to life even further and that is where we leant into a more narrative-free approach, capturing the carefree candid moments between my friends and I. We intertwined that with some more intimate shots that reflect the vulnerability of the song.”

In the 24 hours after “I Just Wanna Kiss You” debuted on Home & Hosed, the triple j textline received more than 800 texts about the single. People love it, so it might just be the one to put this Naarm/Melbourne-based talent on the map.

THERADIOMUSICOLA and Mystery Singer Slay With “‘Cos We’re Girls”

Naarm/Melbourne-based creative and producer THERADIOMUSICOLA delivers the burst of energy we all need this morning with “Cos We’re Girls.” The track has an infectious pop-rock sound anchored by killer vocals from an unidentified female talent.

“I just want to acknowledge the incredible vocal performances on this track,” THERADIOMUSICOLA enthused. “It was a total blast in the studio working with this Australian-based singer! We were both so ‘intune’ with the track, that the vocals went down in record time – and there’s lots of them. This singer is an Artist in her own right and has chosen to stay anonymous at this point. This may change in the future as we are still collaborating. In the meantime, just enjoy that vocal delivery!”

Consider me intrigued! THERADIOMUSICOLA has extensive industry experience performing alongside quality vocalists like Bonnie Anderson and Rhys Tolhurst, but this is his first solo release. I’m already hooked and looking forward to hearing a lot more.
