Accompanying the release of the EP is the title track's music video, filmed by longtime friend and collaborator Caleb Colledge. Shot on the quiet shores of Stradbroke Island/Minjerribah—a place Jo describes as “maybe my favourite place on earth”—the video captures a golden afternoon spent chasing the sunset. With her family memories tied to that beach and the song’s message about finding peace in the present, the setting couldn’t have been more fitting. It’s a visual reflection of the track’s core: letting go of the end and choosing instead to be right where you are.

As of May 1, Jo Davie is officially on tour, giving people a chance to engage with her stories face to face and share the moment in a community of listeners.

Get immersed in Jo Davie’s world with her magical debut EP ‘Nothing Comes Free’, out Friday, May 2nd.
