Joining the Dot Dash Recordings roster, Memphis LK is ready to spread her roots across the entire country. New single ‘Roses’ has just released, and to celebrate the new single Memphis LK will be playing a show in Sydney, which follows her Melbourne show at the start of November.

Memphis LK grows tall with the release of her fresh single ‘Roses’. Spirited bass-pop that blooms from a bed of dystopian electro, the new single reveals a further metamorphosis for the self-sufficient songwriter and producer since her introduction with ‘Speak Honestly’. Her newly cherished creative independence has been a journey of renewal and rebirth. Memphis looks back on the cathartic process as “clearing things that don’t serve you anymore, so you can step into the new phase – the best version of yourself”.

An empowering antidote to Australia’s prevalent tall poppy syndrome, ‘Roses’ optimistically imagines a world where we share and celebrate each other’s successes rather than drag one and another down. “We’d all just grow so much taller and brighter and stronger and shinier together,” Memphis adds. Its video, directed by her sister Maddy Kelly and Bryce Padovan, unapologetically mirrors all of her loud, bold and extreme versions.

‘Roses’ is bombastic in its beat, which underpins the soft and airy voice that Memphis LK so brilliantly brings to every track. This kind of dichotomy is exactly what makes the track a powerhouse of a beast. While the track’s lyrics deal with growth, strength and power, they also deal with poison, doubt and weeds that exist in the music industry.

The first in a series of singles, ‘Roses’ beautifully blossoms Memphis LK into a promising late 2019, early 2020.
