WILSN has unleashed her own medley of soul, jazz, and pop on her new single “Home.” “Home” is the very first taste of music to come following “Do This,” which launched just ahead of the new year as a middle finger to the industry and those who advised her to mold into the mainstream. Crafted in Nashville, TN, WILSN enlisted the help of Jon Upton and Stephen Mowat, as well as bass player Adam Keafer (Kacey Musgraves) and drummer Jake Finch (Lucy Dacus).
On the new single, WILSN said: “This was written in Nashville with friend and bandmate Jon Upton. Jon came up with the piano hook and showed it to me one day then Stephen Mowat added a beat and some other production. At the time I was living in Nashville and feeling super homesick, kind of lost and a bit dejected, so I wasn’t really in the mood to write to such a happy sounding track. The song sat like that without lyrics or a melody for nearly 6 months… until one day I realized I should just write about exactly that! We tracked some more instrumentation at The Smoakstack Studios in Nashville with Jon and some other amazing players including bass player Adam Keafer (Kacey Musgraves) and drummer Jake Finch (Lucy Dacus).”
You may have heard whispers of WILSN before – the Nashville-by-way-of-Melbourne songstress racked up 1M streams on her debut EP Don’t Give Up independently. Since her arrival on the scene, she’s garnered praise from HillyDilly, The Guardian, and Complex’s Pigeons & Planes to name a few. Influenced by iconic voices like Aretha Franklin, Amy Winehouse, and Lauryn Hill, WILSN embraces her old soul unapologetically while adding a touch of modern flare on each track. With this in mind, it’s no surprise shes already supported notable acts such as the late Charles Bradley, Allen Stone, and Meg Mac, is represented ICM Partners (Blackbear, Kamasi Washington, Khalid, Lalah Hathaway, Nicki Minaj), and has a worldwide publishing deal with Pulse/Native Tongue (BORNS, Miike Snow, DRAM, Courtney Barnett).
