PREMIERE: Liyah Knight - Travellers Guide (EP)
Sydney based songwriter and musician Liyah Knight has stirred a new energy into the Australian music scene, effortlessly combining genres to create a unique sound that is truly her own. Following the kinetic release of her debut EP ‘Nesting’, Knight returns this year with stunning new project ‘Travellers Guide’ (releasing via The Orchard), unveiling it as the next installment in defining her artistic identity and constant flourishment.
Armed with a voice and sense of storytelling that is both intensely personal and yet immediately accessible, the 25 year old has emerged as a bright new voice that Australia is finally waking up and taking due notice of. Based around Kelley and Conner’s Emotional Cycle of Change, 'Travellers Guide’ is a musical exploration centred on discovering new sides to ourselves. Through it, Liyah opens herself up to being vulnerable on record and exploring love and the emotions new experiences can provoke.
Earthy vocal tones blended within seamless production arrangements form the iconic ‘Travellers Guide’ dimension. First single ‘Moon Baby’ witnesses a smooth interaction between Liyah’s voice and endearing bass lines. Tied up in ethereal synthesizers and backing vocals, the track explains Knight’s soulful perspective. Followed by intimate second single ‘Threads’, ‘Travellers Guide’ takes a turn into a melancholic quality which Liyah wears so well.Having won audiences over early, supporting the likes of Budjerah, Milan Ring and MAY-A; as well as making her Australian television debut on ABC’s The Set with Peking Duk, Liyah’s presence as a performer has already been marked out as an exciting one to watch.
