brash THE EMPIRE Releases Superb New Single

Last week I heard the most amazing song, but it was from one of those pesky private Soundcloud link. And so I waited patiently, determined to share this song with you at the first opportunity I got. Well now, “The Empire,” the stunning new single from Melbourne’s brash THE EMPIRE has finally been released, and I get to be one of the first people to let you hear it.

This is the first track from brash’s forthcoming EP A New Country. It was slated to drop in October, but an unfortunate accident that’s seen her rocking a moon boot has pushed that release to early 2016. I’m sure once she’s recovered we can look forward to some shows too. Until then, listen to this. And listen to it again. What a way to kick off a week, hey music lovers?

Brash THE EMPIRE Launches Hot New Single “Forgive Me”

My computer’s been buggy for the last few days. Thank god for queued up posts or I would have had nothing to show you guys in the last week. The biggest problem, whenever I tried to do something involving Flash it crashed. That meant no games of Scrabble over Facebook, and no listening to Soundcloud. You don’t realise how much that website is your lifeline to new music until it’s gone.

Anyway, long story short, my IT expert husband worked his magic this weekend and did something I don’t really understand, and I’m back in business. And I was pretty thrilled that the first song I got to hear was “Forgive Me,” the debut single from cool new Melbourne singer-songwriter Brash THE EMPIRE. It comes from her upcoming new EP A New Country, which sounds like a pretty apt name.

This song is definitely a new kind of country. I love the way that she’s played with the genre, giving it a treatment that’s quite bluesy and sultry. Her voice has such a distinctive, interesting tone too.
If you’re into it, make sure you get along to Some Velvet Morning in Melbourne for the single launch on August 27.
