Abi Muir – Sounds of Oz

After revealing her inner rock chick with “Stockholm,” Abi Muir embodies sweetness and light with her charming new single “Story of You.” This dreamy indie-pop number is perfect for slow dancing with someone special. Abi loves experimenting with her music, and this single is no exception.

“On my previous singles I worked with electronic beats but this single is one of five off my debut EP that is a collaboration with members of a progressive rock/post-hardcore band!” Abi admitted. “Quite a challenge to pop-ify them but we developed quite a creative instrument sound, highlighting drums, keys and strings.”

“Story of You” is the first track on Abi’s debut EP, To You, which drops on March 25. She’ll launch it tomorrow night at BAR36 in Cairns.

Cairns talent Abi Muir has entered 2022 with a brash and bold new sound. Her last single “Still the Same” was a sweet pop-folk ditty, but her latest offering “Stockholm” is an epic rock number. The juxtaposition of her angelic voice with the drums and distorted electric guitars is really something. Inspiration for the new single came from the most unlikely of places.

“I had just finished reading Harry Potter (for the 10th time!) and was kind of obsessed with Draco Malfoy, and wanted to write about the feeling of being trapped in love with someone you knew was a bad person and bad for you,” she explained. “I was inspired to try a different sound working with the guys in the band, who come from a heavy progressive rock background. It’s kind of a warped love song so having a rock vibe to it felt right.”

Like “Still the Same,” “Stockholm” comes from Abi’s highly anticipated debut EP which drops on March 4. If the diversity of these two tracks is any indication, it’s going to keep us guessing.
