Holly Wild releases “Messy”

Hailing from Sydney, Holly Wild has been making waves over the last year with her own brand of music that blends pop and folk with electronic touches and honest lyricism. Channeling the styles of modern pop artists such as Maggie Rogers, HAIM and The Aces, Holly Wild lays down a fiercely catchy indie pop sound carried by her smooth and soulful vocal work floating above colourful instrumental arrangements and bouncing rhythms.

With layers of lavish guitars, synth textures and buoyant backing vocals, her music spins an utterly captivating modern pop sound dripping in sunshine and carefree vibes. As a passionate storyteller, she weaves relatable and sensitive tales of her lifelong quest for spiritual peace into her songs. “I’ve been into personal growth for as long as I can remember. I want to be the best version of myself, and I want to inspire people around me to be the best versions of themselves, too,” she shares.

Having spent the last few years dropping well-received singles, she’s been building towards the release of her upcoming debut record titled Wild. Bringing us the lead single from the record, she shares her latest track with “Messy”.

Laying down her typical breezy indie pop sound driven by her soaring vocal leads and infectious writing with bags of commercial appeal, with “Messy” she offers the first taste of her highly anticipated full-length release. Full of uplifting energy and engaging rhythm, with “Messy”, Holly Wild drops a modern pop hit that showcases her talent as a songwriter and vocalist in the build up to her debut album.

Commenting on the context behind the writing of the single, the artist offers, “I couldn’t see my husband was stressed until there was an explosion, because he was so careful to protect us. It shouldn’t be like that, he should feel safe to fall apart when he needs to.”
