Gang of Youths’ Finally Releases “Let Me Down Easy”

I was surprised to receive an email recently telling me Gang of Youths‘ song “Let Me Down Easy” was being released as a single. After it secured the second spot on Triple J’s Hottest 100, I’d just assumed it was already a single! But it appears I was wrong. No matter. It gives us a great opportunity to take another listen to this amazing track.

I will admit, when I saw this song polled so highly with Triple J listeners, I was a little surprise. I’d only ever heard it in the context of the album, and I felt it got a little lost there. That’s probably a testament to just how good Go Father In Lightness is. But after going back to “Let Me Down Easy,” I’m starting to hear it in a whole new light.

Let’s face it, Gang of Youths can do no wrong. Take another listen.

Sheppard Delight Music Lovers with “Let Me Down Easy”

I just love Brisbane pop six-piece Sheppard’s debut single “Let Me Down Easy”, and it seems I’m not alone. The track’s cracked the ARIA top 20 and been certified platinum. It’s also become the only independent Aussie track to appear in the Music Network’s top 100 airplay chart this year.

They’re not just enjoying success on the home front though. After the track became the most requested song on Portland’s KNRK 94.7, the band sold out the city’s Crystal Ballroom. They’ve played shows throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, The Philippines, South Africa, and India.

“Let Me Down Easy” has such a positive party vibe, and sublime harmonies from siblings Amy, George, and Emma Sheppard. Jay Bovino, Michael Butler, and Dean Gordon round out the group.

“Having a platinum record with our very first release is like a dream come true,” said George, “We’ve not only had great support from radio, but it’s been amazing over the last few months taking our show to the fans and getting such a great reaction live. It’s been such a great ride, sometimes we need to remind ourselves that it’s real!”

Are you in love with “Let Me Down Easy” too?
