POLLY Unveils Honest Hearted EP 'Daddy Issues'

Join Naarm/ Melbourne-based queer pop artist POLLY as she bares her heart and soul in her EP 'Daddy Issues', releasing on Friday, July 18.

This 4-piece EP showcases the sound that has ensnared listeners in over 116 countries. Working with renowned producers Ben Oldland and Liam Quinn (Ruel, Peach PRC), she has created an intoxicating blend of nostalgic-soaked synths, decadent vocals, and hard-hitting lyricism - perfecting her luxe, digitally textured sounds.

Exploring her life, loves, and adolescence, 'Daddy Issues' is a deeply personal project of POLLY's. Reflecting on how her childhood has gone on to impact every aspect of her life from her friendships to her music, this EP is the culmination of time, effort, and love:

"He vessat tot en aquest EP. Com a artista independent es necessita tant de temps, energia i diners per posar un cos de treball junts, però val la pena tot... Escriure aquestes cançons va ser com donar a la meva petita una gran abraçada, dient-li que aniria bé.Va ser catàrtic i trencant el cor i alliberar-lo és terrible.Estic tan emocionat de compartir aquesta peça vulnerable de mi amb la gent i per a ells treure de les cançons tot el que necessiten ara mateix."

La primera cançó de l'EP, 'BETTER', comença l'EP amb una nota desitjable: aquest còctel d'autotune creativament torçat i digitalitzant batega contra la necessitat profundament arrelada de comparar la vida amb el que podria ser, fent una cançó que és tant ballable com amargament dolça, així com mostrant la forta capacitat de la seva música per jugar amb complexitats d'estat d'ànim.

Following that is 'B.I.T.E ME', which transforms heartache into a post-breakup electro pop anthem that's both sweet-and-sour. With its caustic and pointed lyrics, pulsing drums, and refrain of ‘B.I.T.E, yeah, go bite me’, this song bites back.

'Colours', the third track on the EP, is a slow, mournful song with ethereal vocal layering, subtle piano, and gentle electronic melodies. It follows POLLY as she yearns for connection with someone who wasn't good for her, and expresses all of the pain and impossible hope that comes with that.

The EP's finale is 'Feels Like' - a nostalgic and melancholy club beat. Its echoey electronic pulses create an intimate mood, as do the low vocals that bloom into something higher as the chorus breaks and the song grows more vulnerable. This track is a perfect showing of how POLLY bares her heart to the world with every song.
