Right Here (G Sovereign "It's yours." EP track 2)

Launching 11/11/2022, “Vibration Angle” is the first in a new series of IDM / EDM singles co-created between independent electronic singer-songwriter Genevieve Sovereign (https://www.genevievesovereign.com) and composer-producer Ben Tenison.  

Genevieve Sovereign has already had a productive 2022, releasing her debut EP “It’s yours.” (https://emubands.ffm.to/itsyours) this March, as well as deepening her network and collaboration opportunities – particularly through becoming Melbourne Coordinator for the Australian Songwriters Conference, and exploring cross-genre contributor prospects as a classically trained flutist. 

Keeping that momentum strong, Genevieve Sovereign has now teamed up to creatively delve into one of her earliest musical loves, the electronic dance music space, in a series of singles releasing this year and into next. Her collaborator and co-vocalist on the project, Ben Tenison, is himself a career musician and songwriter – as well as most recently a self-releasing pop artist under the pseudonym Roxley (https://roxley.hearnow.com). Building up from their combined strengths in arrangement, production and cerebrally visceral songwriting, this duo have crafted surreal soundscapes enmeshed with thought-provoking messages that truly see their journeys through. 

The partnership’s lead single “Vibration Angle” invites listeners to meld thought and sensation into a vast but somehow nostalgic cosmos, offering almost koan-like questions such as opening line, “What can you see from your angle – does it lead your gaze further than mine?” and later, “Can you feel these vibrations around you, lifting hairs from your skin to the light?” 

Outward expansion from the launch of “Vibration Angle” on Friday 11 November will see the team’s second single “Life Soaked Reveal” joining closely behind, on Sunday 25 December 2022. Further releases will follow soon after, from early 2023 onward. For more information…

Life Soaked Reveal (feat. Ben Tenison)

-

Out 28 April 2023, “Present Dreams” is the third release in a series of EDM / dream-pop singles co-created between independent electronic singer-songwriter Genevieve Sovereign and composer-producer Ben Tenison – now excitingly adding a new team member also, seasoned multi-genre mix engineer and artist Dee Cowan (AKA "Deece"). “Present Dreams” follows tight on the heels of Sovereign and Tenison’s first two collaborative singles “Vibration Angle” (released 11/11/2022) and “Life Soaked Reveal” (released 25/12/2022), with both previous tracks having enjoyed generous coverage levels across the blogosphere and social media. 

...Sonic dreamscape immersion... 

Plunging listeners into a soundscape of amorphous synths, complex beats and ephemeral vocals “Present Dreams” delves into the subconscious straight from its outset. Anchored by Tenison’s intricate rhythms and instrumental flourishes, with arrangement elements and textures brought to full potential through Deece’s mixing expertise, Sovereign’s hallmark poetry glides free into another of this team’s metaphysical journeys – seeking for truth and expansion into the unknown. 

...Manifesting next steps.. 

It’s been a productive year for Sovereign, who launched her debut EP “It’s yours.” only last March 2022. Since then, she has continued exploring creative avenues and collaboration opportunities – with further singles and other projects slated for fruition across 2023 and beyond. Tenison has likewise kept busy as a music producer and artist – further developing material from his 2022 visit to Nashville, TN (USA) for an upcoming EP release of his own. 

Deece continues work on a number of exciting projects as well, including Sovereign’s next solo release “Midday Blue” – an electronic-acoustic hybrid track coming later in 2023, and featuring guest performances from some of Sovereign's closest Melbourne-based collaborators and friends. Stay tuned into the adventure at...

LYRICS - Genevieve Sovereign "Present Dreams" 
--- 

Sun-cracked asphalt underfoot
Air whistling past the walls
Down empty laneways dreaming still
Reality in thrall
Updrafts pull my sweat away
But echoes soak my mind
In concrete venting waves of heat
I wait for you to rise

[CHORUS]
Waken for me
Divine reality from mirage
Shackles broken and distant
Remind me we’re unbound
Arise for me
Become reality from mirage
Stretching on
Into our boundlessness

Stepping through our gateways past
And onward into now
As memories of time we’ve been
Might show our futures how
Will you hear me when I call
Into your present dreams
Let’s realise together here
‘Cause nothing’s as it seems

[CHORUS]

Whirling dust, your words sift through
This play of dark and light
Focusing my eyes I find we’re
Everything in sight

[CHORUS]

Present Dreams (feat. Ben Tenison)

“Midday Blue” official release date: Friday 1 September 2023, yay! 

Inspired by growing-up amid the majestic rolling forests of northwestern Ontario, Canada and subsequently moving southward to the dusty open expansiveness of Australia, “Midday Blue” juxtaposes that soul-soothing brilliance of endless skies which exist anywhere in the world we choose to seek them. 

Instrumentally paring back from the complex musical arrangements of my other recent releases, this new electronic-acoustic hybrid instead underscores the innate expressiveness of voice and lyric – whilst also highlighting the remarkable nuance that accomplished musicians are able to convey, through their chosen instruments of expression. 

SMARTLINK | https://emubands.ffm.to/middayblue 

Beyond my presence in it as songwriter-composer-vocalist, “Midday Blue” showcases beautiful guest performances from Paul Wyer / Ventry (acoustic guitar) and Emily Saaen (piano). With finishing mix&master polish subsequently applied by returning multi-genre audio engineer Deece at Omni-hieroglyphic – who first began working with me on previous release “Present Dreams (feat. Ben Tenison)” – the resulting track invites listeners into a fresh territory of electronic-acoustic exploration.

This new single benchmarks the continued artistic growth I’ve pursued since 2022’s genre-melding “It’s yours.” EP, as well as my recent electronic pop collaborations with composer-producer Ben Tenison which enjoyed generous coverage across the blogosphere, social media and internet radio – in addition to community radio airplay here within Australia (THANK YOU!!!). 

I hope you enjoy this latest offering. And if you’re feeling particularly kind, please connect and/or throw a follow on any of the platforms we might have in common per...

Midday Blue

"Random Number" (out 22 March 2024) is the quirky, glitchy and quizzically philosophical lead single for Genevieve Sovereign's in-progress “STARSEEDS WANTED: enquire within” LP. This newest cheeky electronic experiment from the Australian independent artist showcases her dynamic vocal presence, talent for clever lyricism, love of collaboration and enduring drive to innovate.  

Music platform streaming per: https://emubands.ffm.to/randomnumber

"Random Number" spotlights Sovereign's continued artistic growth since 2022’s genre-melding “It’s yours.” EP and subsequent standalone singles (“Midday Blue” | “Life Soaked Reveal” | “Present Dreams” | “Vibration Angle”) which enjoyed generous coverage levels across the blogosphere, social media and internet radio – as well as community radio airplay within Australia. “Random Number” breaks further ground as an intriguing and high-spirited introduction to her next big project. 

Media kit (EPK) at: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/aewgasrqwy39i9a/AABkTR6kIy_-P-LpnI2hUHeBa?dl=0 

Cowritten with veteran producer and multi-instrumentalist Michael Wheeler, “Random Number” is a playful adventure into the chance and fortune life offers us, through every choice we’re faced with. Built initially upon vocal samples casually recorded during Sovereign’s first visit to Wheeler’s studio in early February 2024, inspiration hit almost instantly. One week later, Wheeler sent through a rough mix with vocal melodies constructed from those recordings – which Sovereign was immediately taken with and began writing lyrics for. The final mix was then decided and lead vocals recorded during Sovereign’s next studio visit in mid-February, with the final Master ready to go by early March. Remarks Sovereign, “This was very possibly the smoothest, quickest and yet most organic track I’ve ever done. In a way, it seemed to create itself and I was just along for the ride!” 

Continuing her boundary-pushing momentum, Sovereign is currently writing more material for her ambitious new experimental electronic project “STARSEEDS WANTED: enquire within” which will involve a full-length album comprising further collaborations as well as solo pieces. With “Random Number” leading the way, these coming months are sure to see even more of her innovative offerings enter the world, with adventures trackable as ever via www.genevievesovereign.com and/or platforms per https://linktr.ee/genevievesovereign

Random Number

“Square Root -1” (pronounced "square root negative one") is the latest electronic beats and spoken-word innovation from Australian-Canadian independent artist Genevieve Sovereign. As the next single from her upcoming “STARSEEDS WANTED: enquire within” full-length album, this new piece showcases her talent for clever lyricism, exploratory soundscaping and perpetual blurring of genre boundaries. 

MEDIA KIT (EPK) | https://www.dropbox.com/sh/aewgasrqwy39i9a/AABkTR6kIy_-P-LpnI2hUHeBa?dl=0 

Sovereign’s ongoing “STARSEEDS WANTED: enquire within” album project work attests to continued artistic growth since her 2022 genre-melding “It’s yours.” EP, her 2022/2023 electronic pop collaborations with composer-producer Ben Tenison (“Present Dreams” | “Life Soaked Reveal” | “Vibration Angle”), and also her most recent singles “Midday Blue” (2023) and “Random Number” (2024) both of which will further grace the forthcoming LP’s final tracklist. All of these releases have enjoyed generous coverage levels across the blogosphere, social media and internet radio platforms – as well as community radio airplay within Australia.

Cosmic rhythms & interdimensional ambience 
---

Following-on from her more conventional prior releases, “Square Root -1” now pulls Sovereign’s audience into deeper experimentation and exploration of those electronics-underpinned soundspaces she so clearly loves. In this piece, being her first-ever spoken word offering underpinned by swirling intergalactic ambience and dimensionally ambiguous beats, Sovereign adventures with listeners through wittily phrased existential puzzles and alternate realities hitherto unknown. With final mix&master polish applied by returning multi-genre audio engineer Deece at Omni-hieroglyphic – who previously worked with Sovereign on her “Present Dreams” and “Midday Blue” releases – the resulting release introduces a fresh universe of undulating atmospheres, reality-skewing rhythms and vast expanses of lyrical possibility.

Square Root -1

I’m driven by a belief that everyone brings unique gifts into this world - with each moment of life an expression of that individual power and potential. My hope is to create music which helps people remember who they are, nurture peace and inspiration within themselves, and continually (re)create in loving authenticity.

Genevieve Sovereign
