Sweet Jean Release “Annabelle”

Sime Nugent and Alive Keath, better known as Sweet Jean, are back with their exquisite new single “Annabelle.”

The single’s film clip sees Sweet Jean collaborating with Australian cinematographer on the rise, Alex Cardy. Alex has previously worked on clips for The Midnight Juggernauts and Oscar Key Sung, and she also played a part in the recent big screen adaptation of The Great Gatsby. That makes her the perfect person to bring to life Sweet Jean’s literary-influenced track, which drew inspiration from the likes of Vladimir Nabokov, Edgar Allan Poe, and William Blake.

Sweet Jean will launch the lovely “Annabelle” with a show alongside The Orbweavers at The Toff in Town on November 14.

Sweet Jean Impress with “Tomorrow Morning”


Sime Nugent and Alice Keath are Sweet Jean, the duo behind the dreamy alt-country single “Tomorrow Morning”.

The follow-up to “Shiver and Shake” is a deceptively simple ditty with jangly guitars and warm vocal harmonies. What a great Sunday soundtrack!

Both tracks come from Dear Departure, Sweet Jean’s soon-to-be-released debut album. The disc is a collection of songs reflecting on life, longing, and mortality co-produced by the esteemed John Castle (Washington, The Bamboos). Look out for it in stores on July 4.
