On and On – Sounds of Oz

Drew Wilson has earned some serious brownie points with the release of his new single “On and On”, a romantic ditty penned for his wife. It’s irresistibly catchy with a chorus you’ll be humming for days to come.

“The bulk of ‘On and On’ was written in five minutes after a phone call from my wife telling me that she was on her way home from work. The words just appeared and the story took over from there. It is about our first date and first big adventure packing our things and heading overseas,” he reminisced. “This is more mature and thoughtful songwriting – this song pens as an open love letter to my wife and I hope it encourages the audience to reflect on the connections they have with some of the special people they have within their life.”

Drew will launch his new single with a free show at The Solbar in Maroochydore on Sunday.

I must admit, when I receive e-mails offering me private streaming of new music I hope the songs are unremarkable. I don’t want to hear music that gets me excited if I can’t share it with you all. I’d much prefer the music was so boring I couldn’t muster enough enthusiasm to get typing.

And so I’m almost disappointed that “On and On,” the featured track from Lincoln Le Fevre’s sophomore album Resonation is so bloody good. The Tassie troubadour has created a song that’s a little bit country, a little bit folk, and a little bit Aussie rock. Its lyrics and vocals are a bit rough around the edges, but that lack of polish just makes it all the more appealing. It’s genuinely exciting, and that only makes it all the more disappointing that I can’t share it.

So guys, you might just have to pick up a copy of Resonation when it hits stores on October 12. If that one song is any indication, it’s going to be a cracker. Or you could get yourself to one of the following shows.
