Embrace the changing seasons with Jo Davie’s unearthly alt-indie single Colder – out now – and prepare for the best in the wait for her upcoming debut EP ‘Nothing Comes Free’, out on Friday May 2.
Ever since Jo Davie graduated from the Queensland Conservatorium in 2017 with First Class Honours and the University Medal, her music career has bloomed, becoming a regular on the festival circuit with regular performances at the Woodford Folk Festival (QLD), The National Folk Festival (ACT), and the Caloundra Music Festival (QLD) among others since 2018.
In the last few years, her career has been rising to new heights, receiving the Carol Lloyd Award at the Queensland Music Awards, performing a sold-out solo show at the 2024 Sydney Festival, supporting ARIA-winning artist Katie Noonan across a variety of venues, performing internationally on other projects, all while completing her PhD. Her lilting voice, impressive versatility and technical skill, and masterful storytelling weave together an experience that stirs the soul and lingers in the heart.
Colder is her newest single, a folk-pop song that feels like a well-worn memory. With kaleidoscopic guitar, heavenly strings, and dreamy riffs, this song builds an intimate atmosphere. Jo Davie’s vocals are powerful yet gentle and vulnerable, perfectly carrying the listener through the story of the song.
Packed with rich storytelling through metaphor, Colder explores the feeling of how a relationship falls apart: from the first stages of uncertainty all the way to the days of healing, finding that something better blooms in the spots they left behind. It drives home that there’s a power in leaving, facing that fear of being alone.
This single is the final release before the countdown to her much-awaited debut EP begins. In May, the ‘Nothing Comes Free’ EP will debut, providing six tracks of storytelling, including previous releases like Throw Me A Rope and Sandcastles. This EP will be release while Jo Davie travels the Australian East Coast in her ‘Nothing Comes For Free’ tour, giving fans a chance to see her live.
Chill out with Jo Davie’s Colder right now, and settle in for a beautiful anthology when her EP ‘Nothing Comes Free’ releases in May.
