If playful and inspiring music is what you were looking for, Christine Tarquinio will be a blessed discovery. Emerging from Melbourne, the talented singer-songwriter builds a sound that’s simple, at least on the surface, with acoustic guitar, percussive beats and a strong sense of repetition, and laying the cornerstone for a catchy and memorable gem. ‘You and Me’ is the strongest evidence of that, being such a summery, laidback jewel. Anticipating a larger EP expected for July – ‘Silhouette’ – Tarquinio looks set for a glorious year, finally celebrating her eclectic and nuanced artistry.
While the arrangement might feel simple, there’s something irresistible about it: boasting a certain flair for making the audience dance, the track is the perfect choice for a summer record. ‘You and Me’ reveals its true colours in its lyricism, a testimony of struggle and longing for the future while experiencing the pandemic.
Not just a musical artist, but also a mother, Christine Tarquinio explains how it relates to her being a creative: “Being a mother is a huge influence on my music. You just want to do your best to show them how to navigate their way through life and hope that they succeed.”
