Yorta Yorta/Wurundjeri man Briggs hasn’t released solo music since 2021, but his latest effort “Ballad of the GOATs” has certainly been worth the wait. Press play and crank this track right up. Featuring Gomeroi artist Kobie Dee and the song’s co-writer David Novak from Polish Club on guitar, this one is an absolute banger.
“If the GOATs needed a song to enter the Pantheon of GOATs I would hope it would be this,” Briggs enthused. “I explained my vision for the track; a highlight reel of a song. I asked Kobie to trust the vision, think of it like we are creating the soundtrack for the highlight reel of life. The best bit was when we realised, we didn’t have to have any words for the chorus. Goats traditionally don’t speak.”
Briggs’ outfit A.B. Original were set to perform alongside Public Enemy last month but unfortunately, that tour’s been postponed. Let’s hope that they get the gig again when those dates get rescheduled.
