Australian singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Chymes has grown a very healthy fanbase since her 2016 debut, and it’s about to get a whole lot bigger.

‘GITY’, produced by Cameron Taylor, is about trying to be everything for someone. Listeners are lured into the musician’s intimate world through the application of delicate yet powerful vocals.

“Trying to show someone you can be there, look after them, give them whatever they need… maybe it’s not the best thing.

“The song is kind of like a plea for help. When you’re holding on, waiting for someone to let you in but you’re just giving yourself away to someone who won’t let you get close to them", explains Chymes.

Opening with an entrancing vocal melody, Chymes delivers a unique brand of electronic-pop with ‘GITY’. The track is also infused with intimate lyrics which are juxtaposed with playful, flirtatious beats.

After receiving considerable radio attention and supporting the likes of Austen and Winston Surfshirt, there’s no doubt 2020 is going to be a pivotal year in Chymes already flourishing career.

Producer Golden Vessel (aka Maxwell Byrne) has just released his debut LP SLOWSHINE which has been awaited with extreme frothage, including lo-fi pop track ‘TONIGHT’.

The tune, which features Sydney rap duo Cult Shotta, was the last song written for the album and is based around the feeling of being introverted, but still making an effort to get out and see people.

Cult Shotta's idiosyncratic flow seamlessly compliments the Brisbane-orientated musician’s signature production style of textured, intelligent beat-making on the song, as together they explore themes of friendship and relationships.  

“I’d spend most days trying to piece together different synths and vocals until it worked,” Golden Vessel explains. 

“I really loved the idea of having multiple voices inputting their own experiences and stories into a broader song topic.”

‘TONIGHT (feat. Cult Shotta)’, which features on Golden Vessel’s new album SLOWSHINE, is out now.
