Alt-pop maverick E^ST’s latest lavish track ‘FRESH OUT OF LOVE’ has been unveiled and is already making waves. The track follows her 2019 bangers ‘FLIGHT PATH’ and ‘TALK DEEP’, which became the number one most played song on triple j and was featured in the station’s coveted Hottest 100 countdown of the best songs of the year.
‘FRESH OUT OF LOVE’ is an addictively melodic and opulent track which showcases E^ST’s stunning vocals and flair for extravagant production.
The track is accompanied by an official music video which depicts a poignant ‘80s dreamscape and showcases E^ST’s enigmatic performance.
Her debut album ‘I’M DOING IT’, set for release in June, was recorded with her acclaimed long-term collaborator Jim Eliot (Ellie Goulding,Anne-Marie, Halsey), and centres on dealing with heartbreak and feelings of isolation and failure. It signals a huge leap forward from her EP releases ‘Old Age’ and ‘Life Ain’t Always Roses’.
E^ST, whose name was inspired by her mother’s maiden name Oosthuysen (oost means east in Dutch), has supported the likes of Panic! At The Disco and Twenty One Pilots on tour. The dynamic tunesmith has also become an in-demand writer for other artists, from global concerns like Noah Cyrus to rising domestic talent such as Nicole Millar.
With 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and millions of views on YouTube, (including her triple j Like A Version cover ofThe Verve’s ‘Bitter ‘Sweet Symphony, which raked in 2.5 million views), E^ST has cemented her position at the forefront of Australia’s alt-pop scene.
This summer will also see E^ST play Groovin’ The Moo, one of Australia’s biggest and most important touring festivals. The all-star line-up also features the likes of AJ Tracey, Kelis, Tones And I and Supergrass.
