Eora/Sydney emo act A Swift Farewell have teamed up with Cassie Jade from Terra for their latest single “FWMH.” Just a tip, if you’re in the office you may want to grab the headphones before you hit play on this one. You’ll figure out what that acronym stands for soon enough! I love the way the male and female voices really bring this song, which deals with reclaiming your power after ending a toxic relationship, to life.
“’We really wanted a second voice, a feature to emphasise the feeling of this song being about a relationship. Cassie’s voice ended up being perfect for it,” said A Swift Farewell guitarist Sarah Bonnet. “Ryo [Sprott, A Swift Farewell frontman] was so nervous on asking Cassie, but as soon as he asked, she immediately said yes without listening to it. When we heard the first mix we knew we created something amazing, and had to show the world.”
I’m a sucker for a male-female duet, but usually they celebrate coupledom instead of independence. I love hearing the way A Swift Farewell and Cassie Jade have flipped things for “FWMH.” This is a fantastic joint release that helps cement A Swift Farewell and Cassie Jade as some of the most exciting acts on the scene.
