Emily Coulston Charms With “Follow You”

Canadian-born, Australian-based songbird Emily Coulston has blown me away with her dreamy new single “Follow You.” Her voice is so pure and angelic and her lyrics, which deal with the emotions she felt leaving her Edmonton home behind for the land Down Under are so relatable.

“The intimidatingly high hurdles of self-doubt and fear inevitably show up and cause you to question how much you’re willing to trust in yourself and the journey,” she explained. “This song is me feeling all that and saying, ‘Okay, I’m all in.’”

Emily will officially launch “Follow You” with a show at the Milk Factory in Brisbane on February 28.

Sam Buckingham Charms with New Album & Single

Sydney folk songstress Sam Buckingham is back with a brand new album I’m a Bird. It’s a collection of songs about travel, love, and life’s other adventures. The album is the follow-up to her EP Fragile Heart, which debuted at number three on the iTunes singer/songwriter charts.

The album features the single “Follow You”, which might just be one of the sweetest and most romantic tracks I’ve heard in months. There’s nothing grandiose about it, but it’s impossible not to get swept away by Sam’s angelic voice and heartfelt lyrics.
