I play piano and sing (EP) - Prudns

‍Focus track 'Rectify' is a captivating piano ballad from Prudns' EP 'I play piano and sing', exploring themes of love and pain with heartfelt vulnerability. Written after her first breakup at 18 and recorded again recently in one take, 'Rectify' dives deep into the universal desire to be loved and find peace from pain. Known for her hyper-ethereal-pop album 'NEXT' and stripped-back piano style, Prudns fearlessly explores her sound. Featured on Apple Music's 'Wildflower' and 'New Music Daily', and supported by Triple J and 4ZZZ, Prudns is an independent artist to watch.

prozac - koady

‍'Prozac', seamlessly blends lofi guitars with jungle-esque breaks, creating a genre-blurring track.
"Prozac is the first song I ever truly finished. I had just come out of a massive low and writing this track and making the video definitely helped me find my path again," says koady. Recommended for fans of Jean Dawson, Nick Ward, and Mk.Gee, koady’s DIY ethos shines through his music and collaborations with artists like Maxwell Byrne (1tbsp/Golden Vessel) and Campbell Burns (Vacations).
