Geniie Boy’s New Track Bound to Make You Feel “Better”

The weekend’s far too far away, but Geniie Boy are here to put a spring in your step with their feel-good new pop single “Better”. If Alisha Todd’s summery vocals and that slick drum motif don’t make you smile, nothing will.

“The old saying – ‘if you love something, you’ve gotta let it go’ is almost the entire moral of this story, and that perhaps if we ‘let go of our hold’ on things, we can see the bigger picture more clearly,” Alisha explained of the song’s inspiration.

I also adore the film clip, which seems inspired by quirky cult flick Frank. Surely three giant paper mache-headed musicians are better than one!

Sannia Delivers With Double A-Side Single

What’s better than one incredible new song by Melbourne singer-songwriter Sannia? Two incredible new songs! That’s just what she serves up with her new double A-side single “Daylight + Better.”

I’ve had these songs on high rotation and I honestly can’t split them. Both showcase Sannia’s powerhouse vocals and equally affecting lyrics.

Sannia wrote “Daylight” on the way home from a big night with friends.

“I sort of had this weird semi-inebriated epiphany that I was head over heels for someone close to me, and in that same moment I realised he absolutely didn’t feel the same at all,” she recalled. “Like two ships passing in the night, or maybe a ship and a rowboat in my case.”

“Better” picks up after the dust settles, with Sannia determined to rebuild and move forward.

“I decided to release these two together because I feel like they’re one and the same, not just in terms of their production or both videos being centred around dance and movement, but the two songs were really two different responses to the same situation,” Sannia explained. “’Daylight’ was the initial, really vulnerable call out and ‘Better’ was the more defiant and explosive response.”

Sannia will play two shows to launch the single next month. Catch her at the following venues.

12 September 2019 – Workers Club, Fitzroy (18+)
14 September – Golden Age Cinema, Newtown (ALL AGES FREE)

Mallrat On the Up

She might be just 19, but already emerging MC Mallrat has achieved more in her career than many people twice her age. Her debut EP Univited clocked up 14 million streams, she’s played every Aussie festival that matters including Splendour, Falls, Beyond the Valley, and Come Together, and she’s supported heavy hitters like Post Malone, Peking Duk, and the man who inspired her to make her own music, Allday.

As the story goes, the talented Brisbane teen was so inspired by an Allday concert that she headed home and started to make her own music. She connected with Allday’s producer and collaborator Tigerilla, recorded her debut EP, and the rest is history.

The hype around Mallrat shows no signs of slowing down either. She’s currently wowing crowds on her sold out all ages tour promoting her new single “Better,” which already has more than two million streams. With youth on her side, expect even bigger things from Mallrat.
