ARIA award-winning, Coodjinburra artist Budjerah has released his confidently charged new single “Therapy” today via Warner Records. Written by GRAMMY Award nominated Sarah Aarons (Zedd, Demi Lovato, John Legend) and Stint (Joji, Kesha, Panic! At The Disco), the track is an ode to the importance of therapy and open communication in relationships. With a guitar led production and a punchy pop-soul delivery, Budjerah finds a new bold confidence that still pays homage to his gospel roots. Listen to it now below.
“When I first heard the demo for ‘Therapy,’ it hit me at the perfect time. I was going through a few things and the song really nailed how I was feeling at the time,” says Budjerah. ”’Therapy’ is about frustration in a relationship. It’s the thoughts and feelings that can erupt when you don’t understand each other and that can be tough to deal with. Therapy can come in many forms, but taking a step back and getting an outside perspective is something that has helped me.”
Armed with a brand new band featuring family he’s grown up jamming with, Budjerah completed his first headline tour last year and impressed at a wide array of festivals. He also supported Vance Joy on his Australian, North American, and UK tours, including performances in Los Angeles and New York City.
Budjerah continues to build his live show this year, first as Ed Sheeran’s support act. In fact, the new track arrives just ahead of supporting Ed Sheeran on his massive Australian stadium tour throughout February and March. It’s the second chapter in a story with Sheeran that started last year with his appearance on the British megastar’s track “2Step.”
