PHOEBE SINCLAIR IS EVERY ONE OF US DANCING WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING, IN NEW VIDEO FOR "OMG"
+ announces headline Brisbane show
Sometimes you just have to let loose and feel yourself.
Emerging from Brisbane via the Gold Coast, Phoebe Sinclair is the latest voice breaking through the Australian pop landscape.
The self-confessed emotional wreck, turned sad-banger songstress, is making an impact with her combination of soulful vocals, intoxicating beats and scintillating lyricism. Backed by a 4-piece all girl ensemble, oozing confidence and power, and armed with a massive pop vocal, Sinclair smashes out electro pop tunes with an inescapable energy.
Written after a moment of clarity, her new single "OMG" is Sinclair taking ownership of her mistakes whilst not letting them define her. Phoebe is also excited to announce a one-off headline show in her hometown Brisbane for January 18th, 2020:
PHOEBE SINCLAIR
And Special Guests: Forrest Run and Jarom
The Milk Factory, Brisbane
Sat 18th January - 7.30PM

"OMG is one of the first songs I’ve written that has felt categorically ‘me’. I’ve spent a good few years writing with and for other artists so when OMG came to life and I felt so strongly connected to it, it became important to keep this sense of personality involved in all its related content."
"I’ll be the first to admit that I am no dancer, but I can’t always help myself. Because of my total unashamed dancing ability, shooting the video was so much fun. We blasted the track and I danced the only way I know how; to the melody & not the beat apparently…
We knew we wanted a drawn element in the video too and planned to keep OMG’s bright colour scheme in check. The fast flicker sections became a labour of love. There are 25 frames a second, so we had to get creative photoshopping every single frame uniquely. We included little glimpses into my world, all in keeping with the strong sense of identity; drawing inside jokes, references to other artists I admire and personal experiences. "
Influenced by kick-ass women in music, Sinclair co-founded the song writing duo Middleman alongside Lara Frew, and has written with artists in the US, Canada, Sweden, France, Lebanon, New Zealand, Germany, Netherlands, Peru, UK and at home in Australia.
Having spent the past couple years writing for other artists, Sinclair’s own music bites with a new found understanding of herself, what she stands for, and how her experiences can connect to listeners.
Her own DIY release ‘Unfair’ garnered 37K streams in two months and was picked up by a collection of high-profile playlists on Spotify. Within its first week, the track received spins on Triple J Unearthed and airplay on Triple J’s ‘Home and Hosed’.
A finalist in the 2017 Gold Coast Music Awards, a performer at BIGSOUND 2018’s Gold Coast showcase, and at a string of sets at high calibre festivals including Surfers Paradise Live, Brisbane Festival & *Bleach Festival, Sinclair has all the markers to be Australia’s next big breakout artist.
Addictive and captivating, her song-writing is deceivingly good and her live performances transcendent, leaving hearts in throats and melodies in minds.
‘OMG’ is out now.
