Check out Elsy Wameyo's new single, Never There

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.

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.
