Perth singer-songwriter Morgan Joanel has given me goosebumps with her sultry new single “Disappear.” This track is a masterclass in restraint, with smoky vocals and a cool groove. I can’t help thinking of cool ‘90s outfits like Portishead and Mazzy Star when I listen to it.
Morgan’s far from a household name, but she’s working in the business for the last decade. It’s a labour of love that’s taken her around the world and seen her signed to one of the world’s biggest record labels. Like so many musical journeys, it hasn’t been a fairytale ride though. Morgan recently moved back to her hometown of Perth and it seems the change is doing her good. While her time with a major label left her feeling creatively confined, she wrote “Disappear” in just 15 minutes. Hopefully that’s a sign her creative juices are flowing again.
