Check out the best new music from Aussie acts released between January 19th-25th below!

Chet Faker – “Over You”

The last single before his upcoming album A Love for Strangers arrives next month, “Over You” is a mesmeric deep dive into a relationship not fated to last. Nick Murphy, the mastermind behind Chet Faker, layers his earnest vocals over an immersive track that transports you to a state of reminiscence.

Courtney Barnett – “Site Unseen”

The perceptive lyricism and delivery of “Site Unseen” evokes the emotions that have drawn Courtney Barnett’s listeners in since the very beginning. Setting the stage for her forthcoming album, Creature of Habit (due out March 27th), the single holds particular personal significance to Barnett, because it features harmonies from one of her favourite singers – Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield.

Youngn Lipz – “2 Shots”

Known for his unique music that captures real-life experiences, love, ambition, and pain, Youngn Lipz takes listeners on a nostalgic journey back to the early 2000s with a high-energy, danceable R&B vibe on “2 Shots”. This track sees him stepping into another night out, where the dance continues and the music pulses with deep melodies and infectious energy. It’s a sound that bridges the intimacy of his soulful vocals with the rhythm and vitality of the club, delivering a track that feels both personal and universal.
