GLVES Makes Herself Clear in Single 'Honesty' Ahead Of BIGSOUND Showcase And Debut EP

Get real and get rowdy with pop artist GLVES on Friday, August 8, for the release of her latest single 'Honesty'.

GLVES is a First Nations alt-pop artist known for her textured electronic sound infused with storytelling. Before she releases her debut EP 'Belonging' on Friday, October 10, she is taking her songs and electric performance to the stage at BIGSOUND 2025.

With her previous live performances at festivals like Dark Mofo, Splendour in the Grass, Ministry of Sound Classical, Yabun and most recently Blak Day Out 2025 channelling her mastery of multi-sensory art, her upcoming show at BIGSOUND 2025 is sure to be a knockout.

GLVES debut EP 'Belonging', produced by ARIA-winning producer Rob Amoruso (Baker Boy), will feature four original tracks including 'Echo', 'Time' and 'Honesty', all which delve into themes of identity, belonging, and the "third space" of self-reclamation. Each track is crafted to be both personal and universally relatable, reflecting GLVES' commitment to creating music that is emotive, introspective, self-compassionate and empowering.

El seu últim gust en la forma de 'Honesty' és el narratiu del cor que GLVES és conegut per, amb un tambor a punt per a la dansa i un gir de baix. Amb un retrobament més lent, més retirat, la cançó pren un bat que manté la sang bombejant i els cossos en moviment. El tambor i el baix dominen aquesta cançó, amb les veus filtrades electrònicament de GLVES afegint un nucli emocional a la pista que la converteix en una cosa gairebé somniosa i difícil d'agafar, fent que els temes de la cançó siguin molt més reals.

Com cada llançament de GLVES, aquesta cançó és una història en si mateixa: els tambors d'alta velocitat juguen en l'energia fràgil que ve amb tractar de trencar-se, confrontant algú per dir-los que volen més o res en absolut.

"It’s about being stuck in a relationship you can’t disconnect from, yet can’t move forward in either. At some point, you just have to be honest with them, no more holding back, no more pretending. It’s a raw, vulnerable moment where truth-telling is the only way forward."

Let the truth speak for itself on Friday, August 8, when 'Honesty' releases and for those lucky enough to be making it to Meanjin/ Brisbane for BIGSOUND 2025, be sure to put her showcases in the schedule - more details Aquí.
