Jem Cassar-Daley has officially announced her debut album, tattoos used to come off in the pool, set for release on Friday, August 28th.
To celebrate the announcement, the Brisbane-born, Sydney-based singer-songwriter has shared new single and video, “All I’m Thinking About,” the latest taste of the forthcoming record.
“This song was inspired by finding out about your partner’s ex and wanting to know more about them,” Cassar-Daley said of the track.
“Wondering how and why they broke up, going for a little stalk of their insta and developing a bit of an obsession. I wrote this song with Shannen James and Michael De Lorenzis (Msquared), and we had so much fun in the session! I’ve always wanted to write a song with a monotonous and driving chorus melody so it was awesome to make that dream come true.”
Following the album’s release, Cassar-Daley is set to perform at BIGSOUND in September, followed by headline shows in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Check out all of the dates below and click here for more details.
“A song can be like a tattoo,” Cassar-Daley said. “It can represent a time in your life that should be looked on with fond eyes, even though it may be from a period you don’t resonate with anymore. That’s what growth’s about.
“I feel totally connected to this album. That was really important leading into a debut album, knowing that this is going to be a body of work that is me. If I reflect in fifteen, twenty years’ time, I’ll just know that that was from this time of my life. And I had total control over it.”
