I’m really digging “Porcelain,” the brand new single from North Queensland singer-songwriter Will Blume. Produced by Holy Holy’s Oscar Dawson, it’s got an infectious dance beat married with some really powerful lyrics.
“People that I’m close to have been through some hardships and I wanted to write a song, something that they can listen to and find comfort in when I’m not around,” Will said. “‘Porcelain’ is about renewal and was deeply inspired by the important women in my life. It’s for anyone who has ever been made to feel less than and is dedicated to all the survivors, fighters and children at heart. Horrible things may happen, but you can always come back to that pureness of yourself; the beautiful soul you were born to be.”
Will said he wrote “Porcelain” on a writing trip where he isolated himself in a beach cabin for two weeks with no internet, no phone reception, and no conversations or contact with the outside world except for a single “beach buddy”. Through this process he learned to connect more to himself and his music. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty keen to hear what else he came up with on that trip!
