Liam Kennedy-Clark – Again

Again is the new solo single from Liam Kennedy-Clark, one half of 2024 Golden Guitar Award-winning duo Wicker Suit. It’s yet another shift in styles for the Hunter Valley-based artist, this time an up-tempo groove complete with brass, strings and banjo. Produced by Kennedy-Clark, Ross Irwin from The Cat Empire arranged the horns and played trumpet on Again.

Jade Gibson – Down The Road

Another song reflecting the co writing and production talents of MSquared, Down The Road captures the age-old story of love taking its time to find you but arriving when you least expect it. Jade Gibson has been playing live since she was just 14 and was a Grand Finalist at the 2022 Toyota Star Maker competition.

Kylie Gale – Nobody Knows Me Like You

Nobody Knows Me Like You is the latest release for Lake Macquarie artist Kylie Gale. The song takes us on a journey through the ebbs and flows of love and how the right love just makes sense. Co-written with the uber talented Billie-Jo Porter, the song was produced by Simon Johnson and seamlessly weaves heartfelt lyrics with captivating musicianship and production.
