Rising Australian talent Yorke today releases new single ‘Gravity’. The first release since her outstanding debut EP Liberosis at the end of March, ‘Gravity’ sees Yorke growing in confidence and moving her sound into new territory. Retaining her trademark indiepop vibe at the core of the track, she adds a slice of electropop into the mix thanks in part to the presence of Finnish producer Hank Solo on the track.

Written in a single day with fellow artist and producer Japanese Wallpaper, ‘Gravity’ has a perfectly left of centre theme - a love story between an alien and a human who are struggling to exist in each other’s orbit. “Think 'intergalactic Romeo and Juliet' minus the tragedy,” says Yorke. Also working on the track is Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla who mixed the track.

It is clear that since the release of Liberosis Yorke is finding her feet as an artist, and says the success of the EP has spurred her to explore her creativity further. “[Since releasing Liberosis] I’ve gained more confidence, know exactly what I like and don’t like, and I’ve challenged myself to push my (creative) boundaries,” she say. Yorke has always shown a remarkable talent for creating authentic pop music and ‘Gravity’, with its pulsing beat and sublime melodies, solidifies her place as one of Australia’s great new musical talents. Highly recommended listening.
