Farriss previously said of Something Stronger’s energy, “I wanted to record a song about grit and passion.” The effort paid off in spades—Something Stronger soars with belting electric guitars, thrashing drums, and the former INXS icon’s soulful and commanding vocals coalescing into a beautifully dirty, energised barnstormer.

Something Stronger arrived as our first preview of Farriss’ second full-length solo effort, The Prospector, primed for release in early 2025 via Rockingham Recordings.

The storied artist teased of the follow-up to his self-titled 2021 debut: “The songs on The Prospector are about searching for the gold in life – reaching out for something higher. It’s about digging deep inside and encouraging others to look for the real treasures in life.”
