Montaigne’s new album Complexto be debuted in Adelaide this August
ARIA award winning Sydney musician Montaigne has graced the eardrums of her loyal fans once again with the release of her new power single Readyand the announcement of her sophomore album Complex,set to release on August 30th.
Her debut album, Glorious Heights, threw Montaigne into our morning drive playlist as she landed a Triple J feature album spot and took home an ARIA award for Best Breakthrough Artist. Her popular track Because I Love Youtook no. 25 on Triple J’s hottest 100 and is anticipated to go platinum this year, still grabbing attention three years after its release.
Known for being bold and unafraid to make a statement, Montaigne’s new single Ready is a reflection of her values and driven activism, providing a deeper look into the mind of the person behind the encapsulating vocals Australia has grown to love;
“To me the song is about this political moment, where humanity is starting to realise how actually cooked this planet is, that it never had to be like this, and that we have the power now to overthrow those who’ve forced us into this corner. It’s music that I’m proud of representing, because I think that it reflects the feelings swirling around the current political shitfest my generation is facing, and it attempts to transform the anxiety amongst those feelings into angry power. It’s like a fuel source.”
Ready is an anthem for speaking up about world issues to create change, and in true Montaigne style, the singer-songwriter-vegan-activist-Instagram foodie is celebrating this years release of Complexwith a national tour, donating $1 of every ticket to Bush Heritage Australia, a national non-profit organisation dedicated to conserving biodiversity in Australia.
In a not so common occurrence, Adelaide will have the privilege of hosting the first performance of this tour on November 7that the Gov.
Celebrated for her emotional and theatrical performances, Montaigne consistently proves herself a dedicated artist when it comes to her shows. With Complexboasting the collaboration of a variety of renowned producers who have worked with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Madonna, One Direction and Dua Lipa, to name a few, this tour is looking to be a must-see performance.
