This year for me has had a theme of watching people get married and find their person, leading to an expectation I should be too. But that is the least of my worries, and even when I do try to pursue love it somehow feels temporary. I wanted to use this experience to write pieces of vulnerability and uncertainty to create something resonant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Drunk Love&#8221;<\/strong> explores the dynamic of only feeling love from someone when they\u2019re intoxicated, making love feel conditional or temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Rules of Casual&#8221;<\/strong> follows the idea that modern dating always seems to be <strong>\u201ccasual\u201d<\/strong>, almost a game we play when pursuing anyone. With <strong>Sally Gyngell<\/strong> on harmonies \/ backing vocals and <strong>Anielle Saminaden<\/strong> on piano, its stripped back arrangement contrasts with this idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>&#8220;Something Borrowed&#8221;<\/strong> uses the traditional wedding rhyme <strong>\u201csomething old, something new, something borrowed, something blue\u201d<\/strong> to question marriage and the expectations. Featuring <strong>Nathan Tewi <\/strong>on drums, <strong>Lewis Kerr<\/strong> on Guitar and <strong>Callum Spillane<\/strong> on bass, this fuller arrangement enhances the EP\u2019s emotional catharsis, creating a sense of acceptance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist bio Matisse Pearce is an Australian singer-songwriter, creating music that blends contemporary pop, folk and indie influences.
