Budjerah is back in a big way. 

The ARIA Award winner has released “Is It Ever Gonna Make Sense”, his first single of the year, at the same time as announcing a headline Australian tour.

Budjerah’s new song was co-written with G Flip and Aidan Hogg during a Melbourne writing trip. It started as simply a song about Budjerah’s struggles with quitting coffee, but it became something much bigger, a broader expression of Budjerah’s frustration at the perils of fame.

“‘Is It Ever Gonna Make Sense’ is pretty much how I’m feeling about every aspect of my life right now. My life, in the last couple of years, has changed so much, thanks to my fans, but at times it’s been a little tough to deal with, with so many different things happening at once. This song simply puts all my emotions into about three minutes,” he explains.
