Melancholic, indie pop with just a hint of soul – you have heard it all before? Maybe, but this one is different. Australian singer Sophia Whitney enchants us with her debut single Falling. Her aching vocals transport the pain of having to face the uncertainties of life its grief. With delicate piano keys and a dragging beat, she rounds the song up to a piece, which has just the right amount of touching melancholia to go underneath the skin without sounding pessimistic. The singe is a strong debut and leaves a lingering bittersweet taste, making the wait for another release hard. Falling is Sophia Whitney’s gentle ‘ode to the empowerment and growth that comes from prevailing, and the healing strength of community’.
