Prolific Australian singer-songwriter Jack Carty has today released his new single, Pollyanna.
Known for his clear-eyed storytelling, he is Australia’s urban bard, writing frankly about modern life. Carty’s latest track – Pollyanna – is a sharp-eyed reflection on the noise that is relentless in our world, and counters this noise with a choice to keep moving forward through difficult times.
“Pollyanna is about resilience, hope, and the quiet courage of optimism,” says Carty. “It’s a song that came from reflecting on how we carry ourselves through life’s harder seasons and the strength it takes to keep choosing joy.”
The track is entirely produced in Jack’s home studio, with the musician able to turn his hand to playing drums, bass and piano alongside the guitar and vocals that are a staple of his live show.
Carty is considered as one of Australia’s most consistent independent voices. Having built a strong reputation over more than a decade, releasing six albums and two EPs, touring internationally, and sharing stages with artists including Josh Pyke, the late Justin Townes Earle, and more recently supporting Katie Noonan’s on her ‘Grace’ tour, celebrating 30 years of Jeff Buckley’s classic album in theatres across Australia.
Pollyanna signals a taste of what’s to come as audiences await his 7th album to be released in March 2026.
