Emerging Indie Artist, Murphy Moore, Releases Her Debut Single ‘For The Most Part’ Along With
Evocative Music Video.
Your boyfriend and sister in law having an affair behind your back might sound like the stuff of TV drama, but a good songwriter never wastes a heartbreak.
Aotearoa New Zealand artist, Murphy Moore, delivers her first single from her upcoming EP. Blending soulful melodies with heartfelt lyrics, ‘For The Most Part’ is a deeply intimate song concerning the complexities of heartbreak - and how complicated it is when the cheating is from your family…
Inspired by a true story, ‘For The Most Part’ tells a tale about the art of pretending. Exploring themes of loneliness and survival during heartbreak, this track is about being honest to oneself when processing heavy emotions. “I wrote this song while going through a pretty difficult time. I’d found out that my boyfriend and sister in law were having an affair. The whole situation was messy and confusing, I wasn't really sure how to feel or act. This song poured out of me a year after the breakup and it’s really about acknowledging that it’s okay to not be okay”.
Murphy teamed up with multi-instrumentalist, engineer and producer, Christian Tjandrawinata. “I’ve been following his work for quite some time and love his sound and musical perspective”. Together, they’ve created a track rich in gospel like harmonies, poignant melodies and a thundering, full band sound.
The Auckland based singer-songwriter is set to release her EP, ‘Break’ in October. ‘For The Most Part’ marks her first single from the EP.
Also being released is the accompanying cinematic music video. Shot by Kontent and edited by Chur Films, Murphy stated she “had a really clear vision for the music video. I knew I wanted it to feel like a whirlwind of emotion, reflecting on the extreme highs and lows that are often experienced during heartbreak”. The music video features Murphy as the lead, navigating through everyday situations whilst emotions are bubbling beneath the surface.
‘For The Most Part’ is available now on all streaming platforms.
