Praise for “FRESH OUT OF LOVE”
“E^ST gives her all to songwriting. Refusing to hold back, her life and her art intermingle, sometimes to dramatic results. (Fresh Out Of Love is) highly poignant, and emotionally charged.” - Clash Magazine (UK)
“A sweet slice of retro-tinged pop… If you’re a fan of King Princess or Lana Del Rey, you’ll find a lot to love here.” - triple j
“The song is an epic, lushly produced anthem that mixes an electro-pop beat with a soulful, sweeping chorus that echoes the sounds of both 1930s jazz ballads and 1960s psychedelic pop.” - Women In Pop
E^ST, whose name was inspired by her mother’s maiden name Oosthuysen (oost means east in Dutch), has supported the likes of Panic! At The Disco and Twenty One Pilots on tour. The dynamic tunesmith has also become an in-demand writer for other artists, from global concerns like Noah Cyrus to acts from back home like Nicole Millar. With 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and millions of views on YouTube, including her triple j Like A Version raking in 2.5 million views, E^ST has cemented her position at the forefront of Australia’s alt-pop scene.
