Neo Soul's Newest Bright Light Is Shining From 'Pole To Pole'

Recently hailed as one of the most unique singers in the future soul scene, Wallace Gollan, who performs mononymously as Wallace, has been hard at work away from the limelight preparing for the release of a new EP entitled Pole To Pole. "All the tracks on the EP were co-written by some of Australia's best producers," says the future star. "So half of each track was created in their own spaces and all the vocals were recorded with Simon Cohen (Love Yourself - Justin Bieber) in a little studio by the beach in Sydney."

With inspirations behind the EP ranging from fictional tales to deeply personal woes, Gollan happily discusses both with honesty and passion. "It's almost as if there's two themes going on inside it. Raffled Roses, Diaspora and Negroni Eyes are about my life and are inspired by people who are very close to me. The other three tracks are all retellings of stories that fascinate me. Literature is a huge influence." 

Always one to mix things up when performing live, Gollan has surrounded herself with a band that's just as flexible as she is. "I generally write and record the track with the producer then take it to the band and have a blast reimagining it and arranging it for the live show."
