Coodjinburra indie-roots singer Budjerah has just dropped a brand new collab with Sydney producer May-A.
The two came together for the new track Talk, with a music video premiering for the song today. Filmed at the iconic James Theatre in Dungog, New South Wales, the clip sees the pair rocking out in the empty picture house while grooving along to the new tune.
“Talk came about from a conversation with May-A, [where] we were just talking about how a lot of people would rather text than call,” Budjerah says of the project. “It’s inspired by the fact that a lot of problems in our lives could be solved by talking openly and honestly, face-to-face, instead of hiding behind screens or lying.”
May-A echoes the sentiment, adding, “In order for a relationship to thrive you need to be actively listening to each other and explaining how you feel, it doesn’t work if both people aren’t putting the effort in to both talk and listen. ‘You’re always speaking, but I never hear what you’re saying, can you replay it?’ - is when someone is avoiding the point and everyone is misunderstood."
She continues, "this song is about that moment where you cut all the bullshit and sit someone down, stare them in the face and say ‘let’s talk about this.’ It doesn’t always have to be a negative thing though. It's better to talk about the good things, like life, love, change, etc.”
