Dear friends 👋

CHANGE IS HERE, my new single is out today on all digital platforms and I couldn’t be happier! 🎉

I’ll tell you a secret… this song was written for the Eurosong contest. Unfortunately, it didn’t go through the selection. However, I still wanted to include it in my Artist project, so I did!

I wrote this song back in July when I was in Portugal. The night before, I dreamt of Eurosong and thought, ‘'maybe I should write something for Eurosong 🤔’.

So the next day, while in the car, on my laptop, using a few loops on Logic (software) I started putting down a structure and a melody, and the lyrics just arose quite naturally as my partner and I were driving from Lisbon to the sea.

This song has quite a different vibe from the previous ones :) You might find yourself tapping your foot or have a little dance, eheh, go for it!

Picture this: sun, sea, summer vibes, and Harry Styles in the background… this was the scene in which CHANGE IS HERE was written.

CHANGE IS HERE is an alt-pop track aiming to create an inclusive, uplifting and energising sound. Layered vocals and synths, glimpses of spoken words, infectious drum beats and a simple yet catchy chorus melody leave the listener with a clear message: Change is here, we know it, and we can't ignore it

The intention is to talk about climate change in a light yet direct way, using repetitive lyrics, effects on the vocals and an easy-to-remember topline.

Writing CHANGE IS HERE has required courage and authenticity. I wanted to convey the messiness and wide range of emotions we might feel when thinking about climate change: sadness, hope, anger, grief and longing for community.

I am super grateful for Olly, the producer behind the track; he’s just phenomenal and captured the idea I had in my head so nicely. Also I wanted to say a huge thank you to Noran, the artist behind the artwork, which is stunning! I am so happy I found her and excited about our next collaboration.

Go and listen to it, and I hope you like it!

Listen to CHANGE IS HERE

Lastly… if you are on social media, I’d love for you to tag me as you listen to the song!

Love x x
