Noongar indie-pop artist Ricky Neil Jr. releases “HEARTBREAKER” today, a disco-inflected indie-pop single produced and co-written with Ross James.
The song grew from Neil Jr.'s participation in Mushroom Creative's First Nations Pathway songwriting programme and follows “SUPANOVA” and “TROCADERO.”
Rather than staying in reflective singer-songwriter territory, “HEARTBREAKER” aims directly at a bright, energetic chorus and dance-floor momentum.
A national Australian tour begins in Albany on 22 August before visiting Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and finishing at Perth's Indian Ocean Hotel on 12 September. It is one of today's best emerging Australian releases.
