PREMIERE: Soul Artist Takes Aim At Lockout Laws In New Track, 'Sydney'

Many musicians throughout Sydney have felt the full effect of the contentious lockout laws and pop/soul singer Siki Daha has tackled the issue head on by releasing new song, Sydney; premiering on theMusic.com.au today.

The track reminisces on the vibrant city Sydney once was before government bodies stepped in — from lockout laws to marriage equality, the songwriter insists now is the time to stand up and make a change. 

"In my own way I wanted to sing about this and bring this to light," Daha said.

"The cover of the single is to show a city drowning with the water flowing down, and not being able to speak up due to the constraints the government and councils have put upon us."

Sydney is set to feature on Siki Daha's new seven-track EP, Emerson, set for release in September.
