Wake Up

A
Sleep now love, the streets are still,
I know you've yet to have your fill,
Babe in arms to the skyline's glow,
I love you more than you'll ever know.

A
Sleep now love, let your dreams awake,
I know the days are hard to take,
Lay it down as the lights are low,
I love you more than you'll ever know.

B
Caught up in conviction for this conflict that's weighing 
heavy under the eyelids.
Oh the contradiction of feelings so at home and yet
not knowing how to rest.

Lullaby For Isolation

Limitless

ESSIE’s latest single ‘Big Cities’, released on September 27th 2023, sees ESSIE step back from her signature bluesy riffs and into a moodier, more intimate sound, whilst still sounding quintessentially ESSIE. The song is for anyone who has ever left a small town for the big smoke and after a few years been posed the question “so… when are you coming home?”

All Of This

I thought I'd finish 2019 with a cover of Brooke Fraser's New Year's Eve. I love this song, it's the closing track on her massively underrated album Brutal Romantic, I hope you enjoy my moody cover version to close out the decade, and I hope you all have an amazing 2020. Love, ESSIE.

New Year's Eve (Cover)-Brooke Fraser

ESSIE is an alt/rock guitar player and vocalist from Perth, Western Australia. Her signature sound is a confident mix of bluesy guitar chops and soaring vocals. “The proud owner of an awesome set of pipes”(Drunkenwerewolf.com). 

ESSIE's debut EP Run Red and single Sugar Rush drew on an earthy mix of influences from The Black Keys and Jack White to Gin Wigmore.  Hailed in press as “Alternative rock with a superb 70s twist”(Fireworks Magazine), the success of these DIY releases prompted ESSIE to relocate to London in 2015 to pursue a career in music.

Performing with her trio, ESSIE is a regular in the capital's clubs, where she is building a devoted fan base enthralled with her raw, confessional songwriting and assertive blues guitar.  Her second EP "Not Easy" was released on The Animal Farm label in 2016 and the title track , punchy and to the point, plays like an anthem for empowered women everywhere.  Her follow up single, ‘Someone’ may simply be billed as a ‘break up song’, yet it’s one with a soaring plea for honesty that’s hard to resist.
 
Lyrically ESSIE”s growing all the time, and in her new single ‘All of this’, due May 10th, she hits her stride blending the catchy and the thought-provoking in a mix that will entice her audience to join in.  ‘Bloom’, due out this summer, may not be the same kind of singalong track, yet she delivers  it with her characteristic bluesy, gutsy confidence that enables her to build the pace and tempo to match her increasingly assured voice.  
 
In an entertainment industry where women are finally flexing their muscles in every area, ESSIE’s music is yet another reminder of the power that they can yield.
