LISTEN: “Lavender Scars” by Phebe Starr

Chris / Bands, IMF / phebe starr / 0 Comments

Australian starlet Phebe Starr has returned with a dramatic new single “Lavender Scars”; a track highlighted by melodic textures and Starr’s emotive vocals, that builds to expansive soundscapes.

She comments: “I wrote this song to honour the importance of freedom in the midst of grief… I was working alone in the studio when I received a text from a close friend of mine. Her father, who had a long struggle with illness, finally passed. I didn’t know what to say. Life hadn’t really prepared me to handle the harsh reality of loss in my own life or in anyone I was close to. Immersing myself in this moment of vulnerability helped me embrace the uncomfortable disconnect of experiencing someone else’s pain.”

LISTEN: “Feel My Love” by Phebe Starr

Chris / Bands, IMF / phebe starr / 0 Comments

Australia-born/Los Angeles-based starlet Phebe Starr is back with new music, having revealed her new single “Feel My Love” this week. Co-produced by Rob Ellmore (Selena Gomez, The Veronicas, Zedd) and Starr herself, this track shows its massive build, with delicate harp arrangements to an anthemic, roaring peak. Take a listen to “Feel My Love” (for fans of Lykki Li, Lowell, Florence + The Machine).
