Naarm/Melbourne chanteuse Holly Hebe continues her ascendancy with her new single ‘Bitterness’ – another track that puts on display her extraordinary vocals and songwriting skills. We last visited Hebe when she released her EP ‘Ruby’ last year (see our review here) which we described as another triumph for an artist we have been admiring and reviewing for a number of years.
‘Bittersweet’ is tinged with a thread of yearning and melancholia, the production immaculate with Hebe’s delivery velvet and smooth. The song casts an eye at the modern trend of keyboard warriors and the attendant angst, with Hebe urging optimism and resilience before bitterness takes hold. The result is something rich and luscious:
‘Bittersweet’ is out now and available to download and stream here.
You can catch Hebe live performing a headline set at Franjafest 2 with FELIVAND and Lotte Gallagher on March 1st. She is headlining all-ages shows at The Loft (NSW) and The Leadbeater (VIC) for Great Southern Nights.
