ELSY WAMEYO RELEASES NEW SINGLE ‘NEVER THERE’ TODAY! + GORDON KOANG LIVE SHOW ANNOUNCED
Recorded in Adelaide with producer Mario Späte (Tkay Maidza, Montaigne, Okenyo), this emotional track speaks about the sometimes chaotic and complicated nature of relationships, both with yourself as well as with others. Gospel influences resound as the sparse opening creates space for the intimacy of Elsy’s vocals, musically reflecting a sense of isolation and pain.
“I grew up knowing what love was by seeing what it wasn't.” Elsy Wameyo
Exploring personal emotions through her music comes second nature to Wameyo. Her previous release, ‘Pastor’, shares her personal connection to her faith, whilst ‘Outcast’ speaks of the mental struggles existing within the African community around issues of skin colour. This new release further highlights Elsy Wameyo’s incredibly talent as an artist as she continues to communicate vulnerability and artistic strength.

Music in Exile is a new initiative aimed at creating space for artists working in culturally or linguistically diverse communities in Australia. We hope to use the resources at our disposal to collaborate with artists and share some of their incredible stories.
Music in Exile acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, the Wurrundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. Music in Exile pays respect to their elders past, present and future and to all Indigenous people who continue to fight for sovereignty.
