Knows for her militance in celebrated Australian folk outfit All Our Exes Live In Texas, songstress Katie Wighton now returns to a solo dimension, presenting a single that’s as hypnotising and emotional as one would expect. ‘Real Thing’ delves into indie and slacker rock tones with charisma and fierceness, layering cool and fuzzy guitars over witty keys and sleazy drums.
Wighton’s punchy vocals crown it all, often organised in impressive clusters of harmonies. Stealing the listener’s attention, the Aussie talent embarks on a journey through life’s everyday experiences, taking a positive and hopeful look at its unpredictability. It is not your typical ‘happy’ song, more of an uplifting anthem celebrating the human experience – something that’s likely to resonate with a wide audience out there.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Real Thing’, Wighton explains: “Real Thing is not about sugarcoating things though. It’s about the ups and downs and all-arounds. It’s about the holidays in Canada and the trips to Ireland; the tears and the makeup kisses; it’s about real love”.
