EP PREMIERE: Shelley Segal – ‘Holy’

LA-based Aussie singer-songwriter Shelley Segal has unveiled her powerful new EP, Holy.

Officially out this Friday, the six-track effort follows a massive few years for Segal, who has been collaborating with various artists, writing for musicals and documentaries, and more.

“I've called the EP Holy, which felt like a really powerful statement," Segal said.

"In the Jewish tradition I grew up in, what was holy was dictated to me. Which words, items and actions and even which people were holy was dictated to me.

“To elevate my life, my songs, my experiences and my voice (which was not allowed to be heard unaccompanied in my synagogue), to call them holy is incredibly empowering.  

“It's a challenge to those who want to use concepts of holiness and the sacred to create hierarchies, often placing themselves at the top. I hope it will inspire people to decide for themselves what is holy and sacred to them.”
