Anticipation for Ngaiire’s debut LP Lamentations is rapidly building in the wake of first single ‘Dirty Hercules’, the fierce song that propelled the diminutive Sydney-via-Papua New Guinea artist earlier in 2013.

The formidable creative force – and face of future soul in Australia – is proud to announce the release of second single ‘Around’ – a piece of music that once again represents Ngaiire’s unique diversity, taste and extraordinary talent.

Ngaiire has been building a reputation for herself as one of the country’s most recognisable and dynamic artists since being named alongside Kimbra, Lanie Lane, and The Jezabels in triple j’s 2010 Next Crop list. Since then Ngaiire has moved to Sydney after a brief stint studying for a Jazz degree at the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music, embarked on a long period of touring overseas and in Australia with roots collective Blue King Brown, mentor and electronic maestro Paul Mac and gypsy jazz outfit Monsieur Camembert.

It is now Ngaiire’s time to shine in her own light. Join in the celebrations at her Melbourne launch:
