Eora/Sydney-based pop-rock band Loretta have just announced their exciting new EP ‘Never Thought Of Growing Up’ out on Friday, November 3. Accompanying this announcement is their latest single off the record, Wish I Could Show You – produced by Loretta‘s own Nico Scali and recorded/mixed by Nicolas Mendoza (Lara D, ONEFOUR, PANIA). The EP will also include previous single All My Friends (Are Your Friends).
Wish I Could Show You is a cathartic and vibrant indie-pop/rock anthem that opens with glistening synths and heartfelt vocals from lead singer Ellis Hall. The soaring pre-chorus amplifies the emotive resonance, whilst the instrumentation continues to infuse senses of warmth and nostalgia. The final chorus culminates into a climatic finale, as the arrangement relentlessly ascends with enduring spirit.
Loretta talk about the inspiration behind Wish I Could Show You: “Wish I Could Show You is about the essence of growth, self-discovery, and profound changes and experiences that come with time and getting older. It offers a deeply personal perspective from us that acts as a love letter to the past, acknowledging the evolution of relationships, friendships and personal aspirations.”
To celebrate the release, the band will be embarking on an East Coast Tour across QLD, NSW and VIC, including a headline hometown show at Oxford Art Factory supported by You Problem, Harper and Pretty Talks.
In the live scene, the band have previously opened for the Thundamentals at Encore Manly and have performed at VANFEST, sharing the stage with the likes of The Veronicas, Julia Stone and Holy Holy. They have also performed international shows in London, whilst selling out their own Australian headliners across venues such as Oxford Art Factory, The Lansdowne and La La La’s.
Previous singles have been widely embraced by Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, triple j, triple j Unearthed and Australian community radio stations such as FBi Radio, 4ZZZ and Gove FM. In the online space, their tracks have been supported by Rolling Stone (AUS), The Music, The AU Review, MILKY, Music Feeds, Happy Mag, Australian Music Scene, AAA Backstage and music videos added to MTV Upload.
