Amy Shark Takes Home The Logie Award For Most Popular New Talent

Amy Shark is officially a Logie Award winner. As well as winning eight ARIA Awards from 29 nominations, the Gold Coast singer-songwriter has now added a TV Week Logie Award for Most Popular New Talent to her growing list of wins.

Shark was nominated for a Logie thanks to her first year as a judge on the Australian Idol reboot, which saw her on a panel alongside radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands and international stars, Meghan Trainor and crooner Harry Connick Jr.

She won the award over stars on Netflix and Stan, including Ayesha Madon and Chloe Hayden (Heartbreak High), Love Island Australia’s Flex Mami, RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under’s Kween Kong, and Surviving Summer’s Lilliana Bowrey. You can check out the complete list of 2023 Logie nominees here.

“Omg I’m a LOGIE winner,” Shark wrote on social media last night (30 July), celebrating the win not long after she performed her latest single, Can I Shower At Yours?

The music video for Can I Shower At Yours was filmed entirely on mobile phones, Hugo Dean, the Content Lead at Bolster Group, revealed on LinkedIn.

Teaming up with director Mitch Green and Froomes and Harry Holland, who starred alongside Shark, Bolster Group partnered “with the team at Google to film the entire clip on the Google Pixel 7 Pro. Yup, shot the whole darn thing on phones.”

Shark said that her new single, “Can I Shower At Yours is about that moment in the beginning stages of meeting someone when your mind runs away from you, and you let the butterflies in your stomach take over. It's about letting your guard down, looking a little pathetic and giving in to vulnerability.”

Closing the 2023 Logie Awards was electronic music duo Peking Duk, who Channel 7’s Executive Producer, Digby Mitchell, said this: “We wanted an act that was going to get the room on their feet and give an injection of excitement towards the end of the show.”
