KYARNA Wows Me With “Meet in Love”

I listened to “Meet in Love,” the debut single from Yuin singer-songwriter KYARNA, a bit like a blind audition from The Voice. I received it as a wav file, so I had nothing but her striking voice and incredible lyrics to go on. It floored me. I would have quickly turned my chair.

Then I opened up the press release and was floored again. She was so much younger than I anticipated. Her voice is so mature and her lyrics wise beyond her years. I’m sure she’s been here before.

Make sure you stop and listen to the lyrics of “Meet in Love.” KYARNA wrote the single a few years ago about knowing the timing isn’t right with someone, but hoping it might be later down the track. The song’s taken on a deeper meaning now as the person KYARNA sings about passed away earlier this year. That’s helped the song evolve into a tribute to a love story that will never get its happy ending.

While “Meet in Love” is KYARNA’s first single, she’s no newcomer to music. She’s shared stages with Paul Kelly and Troy Cassar-Daley and supported the late, great, Uncle Archie Roach. She’s also been hand-selected to support Liz Stringer at the following Aussie shows later this year. Tickets are available through the links.

Liz Stringer Drops Title Track Ahead of “First Time Really Feeling” Album Release

There’s something special about listening to new music from a seasoned pro like Liz Stringer. The Melbourne-born musician is prepared to release her sixth studio album, First Time Really Feeling, and she’s giving us a little taste with the release of the title track.

“It’s about experiencing the world with a clear and present heart for the first time after beginning a process of intense personal change, precipitated by getting sober at 36,” she explained. “It was initially very frightening but ultimately liberating and necessary for me to face everything that I hadn’t been able to look at, for a lot of different reasons, for many years. There’s real fear in real feeling. But I believe now that, for me, it’s the only place from which real love can grow and thrive.”

The music video, directed by Dyllan Corbett, is a powerful exploration of the world around us right now.

“Exploring the outskirts of Melbourne just out of lockdown, we wanted the camera to feel the energy of life on the road while capturing a nostalgia and simple beauty of home,” Dyllan explained. “With a small crew, we convoyed around to find these almost forgotten about places; which now inspired a deeper gratitude in us all. In some ways the message of the track reinforced the team’s creativity; helping us to find inspiration in the seemingly mundane.”

The album First Time Really Feeling drops on April 30. Liz will perform at Castlemaine State Festival on April 2, with more shows to come.
