MOZË – Sounds of Oz

Yorta Yorta/Wangaratta-based artist and producer MOZË has one of those voices that sends shivers up your spine. Honestly, I could be happy listening to her singing the phone book. However, her latest soulful single “Would You Be Mine” is so much better. Spare a moment to stop what you’re doing and let this one wash over you.

“I wanted the writing to be fantastical and passionate because in the end the love story is only a daydream. The love doesn’t exist but the expectation and the hope for it does,” said MOZË. “The song captures our intrinsic longing for partnership and connection and the portraits that our minds create throughout the endeavour.”

I’ve always been a sucker for a lyrical dance routine, so the music video, directed, produced, and edited by Annabel Mactaggart, is also right up my alley.

MOZË said the video represents “The dream state of a young woman, exploring the journey of reminiscing on past trustultimately depicts a universal experience: the private romanticisation of lovers who are no longer in our lives.”

MOZË will play a couple of gigs close to home next month. Experience her incredible voice in person at the following shows:

1 September 2023 – The Vine Hotel, Yorta Yorta/Wangaratta
2 September 2023 – Tanswells, Tanswells/Beechworth

Add a little funk to your Friday with “Albert St,” the latest single from Yorta Yorta Wagaratta-based artist MOZË. With a groove that just won’t quit, it shows off a fun new side of MOZË’s soulful voice. The song recalls an epic party in the suburbs of Naarm/Melbourne.

“In 2022, my friends hosted the iconic ‘Albert St. Affair’ house party in Brunswick. They asked some friends to perform, and even built a stage. Hours before the event, I felt inspired to create a song called ‘Albert St.’,” MOZË said. “Its lyrics capture the essence of that unforgettable night, celebrating friendship and a montage of moments. The great thing about that time in Melbourne was how positive it was, people were so grateful to be out of lockdown, and we weren’t bitter about the years lost. At the end of the song is a very special live sample from the actual party, it was the first time Albert St. had been played and you can even hear everyone singing along.”

MOZË recreated that night, with the help of Sam Higham, for the single’s music video.

“Drawing inspiration from Betty Boop and the early aesthetic of Kimbra, the concept behind the video was to encapsulate a vibrant display of friendship, quirkiness, and celebration,” explained MOZË, who directed and edited the video. “In addition to capturing the essence of north-side Melbourne, the support and involvement of my friends were invaluable in bringing forth another version of an Albert St. Affair.”

With good vibes a-plenty, “Albert St” should give you the lift you need to make it to the weekend. Add it to your party soundtrack stat!
