Soul-stirring alt-folk artist Greta O'Leary shares her hypnotic new single 'Body, Now', an evocative and delicate outpouring ahead of her debut EP release late November.
Penned in a wave of emotion while driving through the picturesque mountain passes of the South Island, 'Body, Now' is the purest and gentlest of offerings, a deep dive into feelings of grief, heartbreak and the inward journey back to oneself. Touching on themes of addiction, society and a connection to nature, the track is a bath of milk and honey, a salve to the wound.
Greta is a Pōneke-based songwriter and musician whose spacious and pervasive sound is laced with dark humour and relatable insight, creating gentle-yet-poignant offerings that bend the folk genre to her own plain, an unmistakably rare sound that is unique to her.
Coming of age during a few nomadic years hitching around the globe, her lifelong love of music was ignited through the folk scenes of Australia and beyond. "Writing and feeling is truly all that has ever made sense to me", she says, a fact that is unmistakable after receiving NZoA funding, a debut video that has already amassed over 140,000 views, and mentorships from the inimitable Liz Stokes (The Beths), Sonny Southon and Frances Dickenson
Her EP is due for release on all platforms on November 25th.
