“If you don’t feel right, then you let it go,” is a line from Werribee musician Somer Smith’s latest single GIRLS LIKE YOU, and it sums up perfectly what she is about.
The new track dropped on August 28, but its inspiration traces back a lot further.
“I did a trip over to the states a couple of years ago and was feeling a bit deflated with my music,” Smith said.
After returning home, she crossed paths with a Melbourne producer, Hamley, who helped her expand her soundscape.
The idea for the single came about while hanging out with a friend, who is also a singer and artist. It centres around facing the unknown and uncomfortable, such as moving on from relationships and trusting in something that is always there to console, inspire and be moulded.
“I would say I am really in a proud phase of my life where I am all for stepping out of my comfort zone. I feel like that is where I am finding the better part of myself,” Smith explained.
She said she loves sharing her life with others through her music and connecting with listeners and fellow artists.
“I love the creative freedom, I love the sense of identity and the ability to connect with other people.
“It helps me gain a deeper understanding of people.”
The single will be followed up with a new EP later in the year, appropriately named ‘Somer School’.
