about

‘The Jig is Up’ is a faux pop, dance floor anthem with funky beats, catchy hooks, punchy horn lines and dynamic vocals.

The song tells the story of someone who feels they are out of touch, out of date and out of their depth with the world around them, however one night, they find themselves going out with the “in-crowd”. The initial excitement starts to be overshadowed by their own self-consciousness and they begin to feel out of their place. After a few small victories, they decide that the night is theirs to win, that is, as soon as they push their worries aside and embrace the fact that they don’t fit in.

The second song pays homage to a particular area of Melbourne's northern suburbs and deals with some of the issues that new artists have to deal with in order to find success. It features Joseph Baldwin on guest vocals.
