It’s been nearly two years since Nick Keogh graced us with new music, but it’s definitely been worth the wait. Listening to his bittersweet new single “Always Knew” has reminded me just how brilliant this Naarm/Melbourne-based singer-songwriter is. The track is a poignant exploration of heartbreak set to one of the catchiest melodies you’ll hear this year.
“I wrote ‘Always Knew’ looking back at a relationship and how I knew it was going to crush me,” Nick reflected. “For me, writing this song was a way for me to move past the heartbreak.”
“I really love making songs that are upbeat and something fun you could dance at a gig to but once you scratch away at the surface you see that there’s a whole lot of vulnerability lurking in the shadows,” he added.
After spending most of last year touring with his own band and as the guitarist for Suzi, Nick is fully focused on creating his next batch of new releases. Which of course means he won’t leave us waiting so long for the next single!
