RAISING THE BAR
:: FIRST SOUNDS VOL.7 LAUNCHES ::

The latest instalment of First Sounds launched today with the release of Vol.7, featuring 12 deadly new tracks from our First Nations artists, raising the bar to deliver you a thought-provoking collection filled with culture, strength, and passion.

Profoundly deep and rich with soul, the album promotes First Nations artists making music from across the country including Noongar, Torres Strait Islander and Kirrae Wurrong artists, with contributions coming in from Gimuy (Cairns) to Boorloo (Perth) to Ampilatwatja in the NT.

First Sounds most stunning and compelling expression yet, this heartfelt showcase will transport you from rap, electro pop, trip-hop, and dance pop through to rock-reggae, hip hop, and a chilled jazz vibe.

Award winning musician, and proud Nyoongar-Wongi rapper Flewnt is one of the most thrilling up and coming artists in Boorloo (Perth). Excited to have his single, Desert Rose feature on First Sounds Vol.7, he explains:

“The desert rose represents resilience, growth and beauty in the harshest of environments and we believe that to be the same for our people. It was incredible to be able to work alongside Scott Wilson on this track with the legendary, Alan Pigram (Pigram Brothers) and Optamus (Downsyde) to create a piece of art we believe is very important for our people.”

From start to finish, First Sounds Vol.7 delivers a work of melodic genius, striking a chord with listeners. An album to get lost in, First Sounds is distributed to over 250 community radio stations and broadcasters, creating awesome exposure for our emerging First Nations artists.

The callout for First Sounds VOL.8 opens early 2022, so stay tuned!
