Walls – Sounds of Oz

South African born and Australian raised, queer Eora/Sydney-based singer-songwriter Jordy Burns has made a massive impression on me with her debut single “Walls.” Yes, that’s right, debut single. I want to emphasise that, because this is one of those tracks delivered with such heart and confidence that you’d swear she has an exhaustive back catalogue if you didn’t know better.

“‘Walls’ is about heartbreak and broken trust,” Jordy admitted. “A person I was seeing convinced me that I was safe to open my heart and that they wanted what I wanted. As it turns out, as soon as I let down my guard, they all too quickly realised that they weren’t ready to move on from their last relationship. In saying that, they continued to stay with me and we made a mess of things… it was a rollercoaster, to say the least.”

Jordy will celebrate the release of “Walls” with a hometown show at Tokio Hotel on April 6.

Most of us have connected with someone, yet struggled to get that relationship off the ground because the object of our affection wasn’t in the right place. Melbourne singer-songwriter Julia Lostrom explores all of the longing and frustration that comes with that in her latest single “Walls.”

Julia’s heavenly vocals are so compelling, but add in the beautiful music video and the song soars to another level. It was filmed at scenic Lake Tyrrell, in regional Victoria.

“I wanted to evoke a sense of freedom with the visuals while still maintaining a scene of romance,” Julia explained. “When I saw an image of Lake Tyrrell I knew it would be a perfect location. When the time is right, I hope this video will inspire people to go out and explore further regions of Victoria to help elevate their communities, especially after the devastating fires that have just passed.”

Julia is making the most of her time in iso, working on her upcoming EP and various other creative projects to be released later this year.
