Interview with Budjerah
We had the pleasure of interviewing Budjerah over Zoom video!
Ahead of his first international tour this month, Budjerah reveals the moody official video for his latest single \u201cGet Down\u201d. The track is featured on his second EP Conversations, out now via Warner Records.
On \u201cGet Down,\u201d producer Matt Corby\u2019s sparkling, glitched-out synths give way to one of Conversations\u2019 most affecting songs, a sleek jam whose ebb-and-flow melody underscores lyrics about anxiously forging forward through one\u2019s youth. \u201c\u2019Get Down\u2019 is about the idea that I\u2019ve come so far now, I have to keep going, it\u2019s too late to stop what I\u2019m doing now,\u201d Budjerah says. \u201cIf there\u2019s a way, please show me how,\u201d he sings on the track, a spiritual plea amidst a song suffused with an ultramodern atmosphere.
On the recently released Conversations EP, Budjerah reunites with longtime producers Matt Corby and Chris Collins, as well as new collaborators MAY-A and Konstantin Kersting. The EP - which features previously released singles \u201cTalk\u201d with MAY-A, \u201cWash My Sorrows Away\u201d and \u201cWhat Should I Do?\u201d - reveals a darker, sleeker sound for Budjerah, reflective of the changes that have occurred in his life.
In 2020, Australia was introduced to the spectacular voice of Budjerah: a new, homegrown R&B star. Possessing songwriting ingenuity and old-soul wisdom, it quickly became abundantly clear that, for a lot of us, Budjerah was the kind of figure we\u2019d been missing.
His acclaimed debut self-titled EP followed in 2021, he took home the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist ARIA award from five nominations; performed coveted support slots with Thelma Plum, The Avalanches and Lime Cordiale, collaborated with dance music superstars PNAU and completed his first headline tour. Most recently, Budjerah won Most Performed R&B / Soul Work for \u201cHigher\u201d and was nominated for Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year at the 2022 APRA Music Awards.
