Kicking off our new music this week is Sydney-based out-and-proud independent singer-songwriter Luke Antony. Luke is attending Munich Pride this month in Germany to perform ‘Separate Ways’, which has been chosen as the theme for the 2016 festival. We’ve selected the remix by out-and-proud Sydney producer Tanner Derrby (aka Brendan Terry).
Melbourne independent singer-songwriter Jason Singh continues our shared journey on his project to produce one song every eight weeks for a year. ‘Humanise’ is song number five, with one more to go. It’s five out of five winners, as far as we’re concerned.
We’re all familiar with Brisbane independent band Sheppard due to their 2014 worldwide smash hit ‘Geronimo’. Guitarist and producer Jay Bovino stayed in the background while the Sheppard siblings took the limelight at that time. Since then he’s been working and writing across Australia and the US, and it’s now time for him to shine with his debut single, ‘Get You Alone’, with the help of excellent Sunshine Coast-based singer-songwriter Sahara Beck.
Just when you thought the new Absolutely Fabulous movie couldn’t hit our rainbow nerve any more than it already was, Kylie Minogue went and remade the theme song. Originally written and recorded by Bob Dylan in 1967, then a top five hit in the UK hit for Julie Driscoll in 1968, a top 20 hit for Siouxsie and the Banshees in 1987 and re-recorded for the first series of Ab Fab in 1990 by Driscoll and series co-creator Adrian Edmondson, it’s now time for a 21st-century makeover. Kylie is at her restrained best doing the original the justice it deserves.
In what can only be described as a ‘style surprise’, Australian platinum-selling singer-songwriter-musician Delta Goodrem has teamed up with a rapper-MC for her latest single, ‘Enough’. Better yet, American artist Gizzle is an out and proud lesbian, previously rapping about ‘boning women’ in an appearance earlier this year on Puff Daddy’s single, ‘You Could Be My Lover’. It’s definitely not what anyone was expecting, but we think the song is going to be a massive hit for one of our biggest pop stars.
The surprise hit of the year has to be a three-year-old indie track by Melbourne band Cookin’ on 3 Burners, with guest vocals provided by local artist Kylie Auldist. A 19-year-old French producer, Kungs, took the track back into the studio, worked some deep-house magic and came up with a worldwide hit. We’ve joined the ‘This Girl’ bandwagon this week.
The Freemasons have been a firm favourite of JOY for over 10 years now. One half of that duo, Russell Small, has occasional solo projects in between being the touring DJ face of the Freemasons (James Wiltshire prefers to stay entrenched in the studio), and we have the latest from Russell this week. ‘She’ is co-produced with fellow Brit DNO P and vocals are provided by British MC-singer Darrison, who’s appeared on many euro-dance anthems over the past 20 years.
Swedish producer Mike Perry is relatively new on the scene, but with his debut single with compatriot singer-songwriter Shy Martin, ‘The Ocean’, having over 42 million streams on Spotify (and counting), it’s looking like being a hit across the world.
Out-and-proud Canadian twins Tegan & Sara are JOY favourites. They’re back with the second single from their eighth studio album, and ‘Stop Desire’ is quintessential Tegan & Sara.
Finally, it seems Australia noticed French singer-songwriter Héloïse Letissier when she performed recently on The Graham Norton Show on Channel Ten. Héloïse‘s stage name is Christine and the Queens, named for the transgender drag queens who have been part of her backing band at times, and she personally identifies as pansexual. We think you’re going to love her single ‘Tilted’.
Set your alarm and tune into Michael on the Six at Six for the newest songs to the mix, every weekday at 6am Melbourne time.
