Hell or High Water – Sounds of Oz

Summer might have started with a whimper in my part of the country, but with temperatures predicted to top 30 degrees today, it looks like it’s finally arrived in full force. Dan Vella’s latest track “Hell or High Water” is the perfect summer soundtrack, a laidback pop ditty with an easy groove and positive lyrics about going the extra mile for the ones that matter to you most.

“When a relationship is strong, there is no doubt you would go through hell for them knowing they’ve got your back,” he confirmed.

This is Dan’s third release of the year, and it’s a perfect way to close out 2021. Hopefully we hear more of his good vibes next year. Something tells me we’re going to need them!

Melbourne electronic artist Sam Phay shows no sign of fatigue with the release of his third single “Hell or High Water.” What a stunning song. As with his previous releases, Sam wears his heart on his sleeve for this anthemic number which challenges what we think we know about electronic music. It’s given me chills.

“It’s the first track I wrote for the Sam Phay project and kind of paved the way sonically for the rest of the tracks. It’s about committing your whole self to someone,” Sam explained. “I like to think of this track as a moment for the EP where the clouds part and the light starts to poke through a little. It still feels dark and brooding at points but there’s a real genuine positivity to it all. Lyrically it’s very reflective, sincere and I like to characterise it as being the ending of the narrative that’s been established by the previous songs,” tells Phay.

We can look forward to more of Sam’s material when his debut EP Botanical drops soon.
