HaydenGoSeek announces new single “Never Forget”

Haydengoseek’ “Never Forget”

Following a deeply creative period in lockdown, Cheap Fakes frontman Hayden Andrews is emerging with the new release from his exquisite solo project HaydenGoSeek on 13th May.

Never Forget has an upbeat coastal feel with the prominent sun-soaked reggae Hayden is revered for. His smooth as silk vocals glide playfully over the jovial acoustic accompaniment, with lyrics that reflect his masterful storytelling ability.

Sweetly sad and deeply moving, the most touching aspect of the song is the story that inspired it. Hayden’s good friend ‘Batchy’ was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2021 and advised that he had only 6 months to live.

Batchy decided to host a living wake for himself. He founded a weekend to remember at a beautiful resort in Port Douglas with 43 of his best mates, including Hayden. He treated everyone to an incredible array of delicious food and unlimited alcohol for 3 glorious days.

It was an unforgettable weekend that paid a fitting tribute to his life. Each guest received a stubby cooler printed with Batchy’s mantra for living:

Live each day to the most, dance like no one is watching, hold your loved ones close, and never be afraid to speak your mind. Batchy loves you.

After the weekend, Batchy asked Hayden to write a song about the weekend, and Never Forget was born. Recorded with Scotty French at Love St Studios, it’s instilled with the painful nostalgia of losing a friend yet laced with hope and encouragement to live a life of meaning.

One of the most exciting and widely loved frontmen in Australian roots music, Hayden is a genre-hopping, multi-instrumentalist with a string of highly praised releases, international tours, and festival shows under his belt.

HaydenGoSeek is an intriguing blend of sun-soaked pop and deep Americana sounds blended with the signature reggae flavors that he is renowned for.

Noah Zayden releases a new single “Fuego”

Fuego

With “Fuego,” Zayden turns the tables. It’s still personal, still vulnerable, but this time the narrative moves toward hope. Inspired by the realness of heartbreak and the fear of love lost, Fuego is like watching emotional armor slowly melt. The beat is subdued but warm, and his vocal delivery has a fragility that makes every line sound confessional.

It’s not only how to fall in love, it’s also how to learn to trust again after being burned. There’s something beautiful about that vulnerability, something powerful about electing to jump anyway. “Fuego” just speaks the truth. And in its simplicity, it glows bright.

TaniA Kyllikki

TaniA Kyllikki has never been one to shy away from vulnerability as she demonstrates commendable resilience in her soul-stirring new single, “I AM Good Enough.” This composition serves as a melodic awakening and represents a multifaceted artistic interpretation of an uplifting ballad.

From the outset, TaniA’s voice trembles sincerely, soaring effortlessly through a meticulously stripped-back arrangement that deliberately foregrounds her message to take center stage.

Lyrically, “I AM Good Enough” addresses the psychological consequences of abuse and self-doubt, illuminating the often-silenced struggles of diminished self-esteem. The song conveys a message of triumph, encouraging a reconceptualization of self-worth. With every intriguing note, TaniA affirms that liberation is attainable when individuals cease to accept the false narratives that try to define them as not enough. TaniA channels her experiences into a performance that feels deeply empathetic and human, as though she’s singing directly to the parts of us we’ve forgotten how to love.

The unvarnished authenticity of “I AM Good Enough” distinguishes it within contemporary music. The fourth single from her forthcoming album, ‘Free-Spirited,’ is a pivotal reminder to confront and process past traumas while reclaiming one’s intrinsic worth. Through her artistry, TaniA Kyllikki elevates musicality beyond mere entertainment, forging potent anthems that are essential lifelines for the weary. For anyone seeking validation or needing a sign to love themselves a little more, “I AM Good Enough” provides the necessary and timely sonic remedy for healing.
