Our favourite tunes in November 2024

Here are the songs that we haven’t stopped playing over the past few weeks:

1. Ruby Gill – Some Kind Of Control

Here’s the latest one from the Joburg-born, Naarm-based pianist, guitarist and singer-songwriter.

2. Alex the Astronaut – Numb

With co-writes and assistance from friends and icons, including Paul Kelly, Gordi, Lisa Mitchell and Benjamin Francis Leftwich, our longtime gave rediscovers their joy in making music with long-awaited EP, RAGE AND ALL ITS FRIENDS.

3. Billie Marten – Crown

Another of our favourite artists has announced her debut Australia and NZ tour. To coincide with the tour announcement, she has shared a new live-recorded single.

4. Evie Irie – Laila

Recorded in Sydney, this new track has seen Evie team up with ARIA-winning producer Eric J. Dubowsky (Flume, St. Vincent).

5. Foley – Heartstrings

The Sydney-based popsters will release their sophomore album, That’s Life, Baby! in February 2025.

6. Geoffrey O’Connor – Let’s Make Love Feel Good Again

This is the second taste of Geoffrey’s forthcoming and much-anticipated album, I Love What We Do, set for release on February 14th.

7. Veronica D’Souza – A Mountain

Veronica is an Indian/East African/Danish independent producer and songwriter, with a feminist, multicultural, and artistic approach to music and the world.

8. Blue Foundation – As I Moved On (Live at the Royal Danish Theatre 2024)

Recorded at a sold-out Royal Danish Theatre show earlier this year, this song is about refusing to be “stuck in your machine” and finding the courage to break free from a restrictive relationship or system.

9. iyah may – Karmageddon

The controversy surrounding this new single comes from her manager ending their contract over a lyric in the song that Iyah refuses to change. “I won’t dilute my art and what I believe in. No chance.
These lyrics are from a real and deep part of me and if it means being polarising then so be it. I’ll do it on my own if I have to.”

10. Salty – Cut U Off

The clip was directed and edited by Salty along with Zara Dimmock, who also put together the choreography.
