Here’s what else dropped last week:
Robert Forster – “Strawberries”
Iconic singer-songwriter Robert Forster’s ninth solo album, Someone Ate All the Strawberries, is a warm, reflective look at the Brisbane that shaped him. Recorded in just four weeks, it blends lush melodies with his trademark wit and quiet strength. The title track comes from a simple moment—a stolen bowl of strawberries on holiday.
Tayana George – “Serious”
Soulful, jazzy, and poppy, Georges’s voice cuts through with clarity. “Serious” feels like a call-out and a warm hug at the same time. It’s empowering without losing the groove.
Hein Cooper – My Own
Recorded solo in his mum’s garage, Hein Cooper’s new record sounds anything but small. My Own is full of warmth, emotion, and layered production. If you’re into Bon Iver or Ben Howard, you’ll feel right at home here. The album is set to be toured nationally with Gaudion from May to July.

Merpire – “Leaving With You”
Merpire’s latest is for the overthinkers, the romantics, and anyone going through a big shift. Her voice feels like a quiet comfort, layered over sharp-edged guitar-pop. If this is where her upcoming album MILK POOL is heading, we’re all in.
Mi-kaisha – “Lean on You”
A heartfelt reminder of who’s really there when it counts, “Lean on You” blends gospel warmth with silky R&B, written while Mi-kaisha was living in NYC and missing home.
Djanaba – “Stutter”
Sydney-based artist Djanaba announces her upcoming debut album Did I Stutter? with a defiant new single, “Stutter”, featuring Somber Hills.
“This song from the very beginning has a lot of intention,” she says. “l wrote this song with one thing in mind – my body and how the way l look does not define how l create as an artist, only how people choose to view me.”
