Bundjalung Country/Mullumbimby-born singer-songwriter Finn Wheatley delivers an exciting taste of his upcoming EP with the release of his latest single “Better Days.” It’s a back-to-basics sentimental slice of acoustic pop reminiscent of tracks by Ed Sheeran and Xavier Rudd.
“Better Days is a sentimental acoustic pop song I wrote reflecting on my early childhood and a longing for innocence,” Finn explained. “I see this song as a love letter to all that was good in those times, and I suppose, as the world seems to become more and more a force of chaos. ‘Better Days’ is an ode to the simplicity of playing outside without a care for anything beyond the joy of the moment.”
With this song, Finn continues the musical legacy of his famous family name while forging his own identity. Finn said his uncle, the late Glenn Wheatley, played a key role in shaping his early connection to music.
“My dreaming of music was seeded when I was very young,” Finn said. “I can remember being in awe of all that my family achieved in music as a child.
“Better Days” comes from Finn’s forthcoming debut EP Hearth, which he’ll launch for hometown fans at the Mullumbimby Drill Hall on June 12.
