Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, singer-songwriter Mia Wray is already eyeing up her ascendance to global star, starting with a crop of debut UK shows in May. It is beyond appropriate, then, that her latest single, “Rerun”, is an ode to new adventures. “I wrote Rerun in a time where I was starting to take risks with my music,” Mia explains. “I felt like for the first time I was allowing myself to dream big and just say ‘fuck it, why not?’”
Capturing that throwing-caution-to-the-wind energy with buoyance, the lyrics of “Rerun” are commanding over its playfully punchy production. “I call shotgun”, Mia sings, “…lived this life, so I’ve earned it”. A gutsy introduction to a new phase of her liberated songwriting, the fresh sound demands attention – it inspires trust from audiences through graceful poise, rather than relying on bombast airs and graces.
