Dream Pop from Genevieve Sovereign

Australian singer-songwriter Genevieve Sovereign has had a highly productive 2022. The year saw the release of her debut EP It’s Yours and numerous opportunities to expand her network and collaborations, including becoming Melbourne Coordinator for the Australian Songwriters Conference. Her classical training as a flutist has also opened up avenues for cross-genre contributions.

Genevieve has taken the opportunity to explore her early love of electronic dance music in a series of EDM/IDM singles, working with her collaborator Ben Tenison, a seasoned musician, songwriter, and pop artist under the moniker Roxley. The duo has combined their strengths in arrangement, production, and thought-provoking songwriting to create surreal soundscapes that are sure to leave a lasting impact on listeners.

In 2023, Genevieve plans to revisit some of her earlier compositions and develop them further for release. The year promises to be an exciting one for her fans, as she continues to explore new avenues in her music.

The latest single “Life Soaked Reveal” is a collaboration between Genevieve and Ben and follows their first single “Vibration Angle”. The release date of her latest single, on December 25th, 2022, was chosen to coincide with both Christmas Day and the birthday of Melbourne-based composer Luke Paulding, a dear friend of Genevieve who was instrumental in her journey as an independent artist. The track also serves as a touching tribute in honour of his memory.

“Life Soaked Reveal” is an epic journey through sound, blending Genevieve’s poetic lyrics and powerful vocals with Ben’s innovative beats and musical flourishes. The track invites listeners on a journey through great depths to find lost treasures and offers them up again into a bright, illuminating light. It is a sonic odyssey full of mystery and profound meaning, offering a full spectrum of emotion in just a few minutes.

Capturing a delicate and vibrant dream pop sound full of intricate synth textures and shared vocal performances carrying stunning melodic leads, on “Life Soaked Reveal” both Genevieve Sovereign and Ben Tenison deliver a captivating single that showcases their songwriting skill and knack for crafting mesmeric musical moments.

Genevieve and Ben are already working on their next release, “Random Collusion”, which will be a playful track full of disco club vibes. With more collaborations on the horizon, the future looks bright for this truly talented pair who draw on their readily apparent sonic chemistry to continue to work at the top of their game.
