Peach PRCBeloved pink princess Peach PRC has long solidified herself as one of Gen Z’s defining musical personalities.
An Adelaide-born ARIA-charting artist with half a million monthly listeners on Spotify and over two million followers on the social media platform TikTok, she has cultivated a rabid fanbase who revere her for her ethereal visuals, her glittering yet introspective pop, her representation of joyous queer living, and her candour when it comes to navigating her own uphill battles and personal identity.
Born Sharlee Jade “Shaylee” Curnow, her stage name originated from an all-encompassing infatuation with the colour pink, and an homage to the Super Mario character Princess Peach - a moniker she also employed during her time working as a stripper to pay the bills.
Colourful and authentic; an artist in control of her own image, she once described herself to The Music as being “off with the fairies,” but there is still no doubt that she is an expert at branding and curation.
She’s widely respected for exhibiting a fun-loving but genuine and flawed personality that fans can relate to. On TikTok, she has been open about her struggles with mental health, and candidly documented her coming out journey and acceptance of her own lesbian identity. Her music is bright and catchy, but the world she offers to her fans is complex and powerful.

This openness – both on screen and onstage – has rendered her catnip to a generation struggling to find themselves and map out their own identities. Her music and her online persona has given Gen Z a chance to explore their identities, and to see their own barbed journeys reflected.
Her highly-anticipated debut album, Porcelain, will see Peach PRC step into a new era: one still defined by candour and colour, but also by a new rawness and maturity.
Porcelain is an album she has described as having “changed [her] profoundly,” a work of art defined by a newfound spiritual connection to the natural world around her. Or, as she has expressed on social media: “I was reclaimed by nature, my sound was reclaimed by nature, and so was my art.” Her soul is alive and roving.
Peach PRC’s Wandering Spirit tour of Australia and New Zealand, which kicks off in Melbourne on March 12th and concludes in Auckland on March 29th, will provide audiences with the perfect medium to self-actualise, connect to the world and the people around them, and, of course, to dance the night away.
So, while we are all giddily waiting to hit up the venues she’ll be gracing in a cloud of blossom-pink and with a flip of her arctic-blonde hair, let us consider the tracks that we are most excited to hear live.
5. Back To You
Her recently-released single hints at much to look forward to from her debut album. It encapsulates her ability to marry diaristic lyricism to club-hit production. The content of the song itself is dreamy but melancholic, chronicling the desire to get back together with an old lover.
It yanks on the heartstrings, with lyrics like, “I love her, she’s my saving grace,” but the beat is still giddily danceable. Back To You, though written about wistful yearning, is tinged with hope: the song is buoyed by the possibility that maybe our narrator will finally get back together with her enigmatic lover.
4. God Is A Freak
God Is A Freak is more than just an excellent title for a song – it is also hilarious. Resisting the urge to quote it wholesale is no easy feat, given lyrics such as, “I heard my dad pray over a football game. Guess God had time that day.”
It chronicles her amusing suspicion of the almighty deity, and how – if he does happen to be real – surely he must be one hell of a freak. Or, as she puts it, “Listen, I’m just confused with the work he’s doing/And I mean this respectfully: God is a bit of a freak/Why’s he watching me getting railed on the couch?/He’s got fucked up priorities.”
Though the 2022 single is undeniably funny, it is also a salient meditation on the shame (specifically, sexual shame) that elements of an upbringing amidst organised religion can instil in people – especially in queer women. With God Is A Freak, Peach PRC manages to have fun and reclaim her identity.
3. Secret
This 2024 single is an anthem for a sexy situationship gone wrong, for anyone who hasn’t felt sufficiently celebrated by a lover. This glittering bop is cuttingly honest about the object of Peach’s affections: someone who only wants to kiss in their car and love her in the dark.
“Sneaking around is kinda fun/But I wanna hold your hand and take a photograph/Tell everyone that we're in love,” she sings, plaintive but poppy, once again displaying her talent for dancing around her own lovesickness.
2. Blondes
One could arguably describe Blondes as the song that began it all: her independently-released debut single. It is a dreamy, tantalising number with a cheeky edge and a powerful reclamation of her sapphic identity.
“Call your boyfriend,” she quips to her latest lip-gloss-wearing, blushing crush. “Tell him he’s fine, he’s just no longer your type.” You can almost hear her grin into the mic as she sings, “Play him this song, tell him he did nothing wrong, you just decided you prefer blondes.”
It is a stomach-flipping, certified banger – and it is important representation for queer women, who have long deserved a staunch position in the pop mainstream.
1. Josh
After signing with Island Records in Australia and Republic Records in the United States, Peach PRC released her first major label single: Josh. The song, which debuted at number 38 on the ARIA Singles Chart, was what truly marked her as one to watch.
“It’s very special to me, because it captured a real moment,” Peach PRC said of the track upon its release. “My ex, Josh, kept calling me over and over again. He called all of the time, because he was trying to get back with me. I thought I had blocked him though. Since he didn’t stop bothering me, I wrote the song about him. It’s a true story, but it’s still meant to be fun and colourful.”
It is a track that sets boundaries and prioritises empowerment, while showcasing cutting-edge production and a captivating melody. Singing along to the words, “Fuck off, stop calling me Josh,” is invigorating. In this way, Josh expresses Peach PRC’s musical personality best: it is cutting and it is affirming, while still managing to be heaps of fun.
Peach PRC’s Porcelain will release on March 20th, with tickets to her upcoming Wandering Spirit Tour on sale now.
