The always outstanding Jessica Mauboy seems to be improving with age, like a fine wine. Her latest single “Little Things” may be her best work yet.
It’s intimate and powerful, with an emotional maturity that’s so compelling. Perhaps it’s so strong because Jessica co-wrote the track with powerhouse duo DNA and Chiara Hunter. You can certainly hear more of Jess’s heart in this song that some of the frothier pop fare in her back catalogue.
“This song is EVERYTHING we want to TELL our loved ones … to remind them that ALL we want is to be loved and appreciated in ALL of the things we do,” she explained. “This song could also be felt in a way that you could be an eight-year-old old girl or boy and want to feel loved by your parents, trying to catch their attention when your parents aren’t watching, to a 20-year-old sharing their deepest experience and not getting that back in return from the one they love, to a 50-year-old who could has lost their loved one and is haunted by memories of what was unsaid”
“Little Things” comes from Jessica’s new album Hilda. Look for it in stores this October.
