Australian singer-songwriter Tyne-James Organ has shared his first new music since releasing debut album Necessary Evil back in 2021. New single ‘Blue’ is a rousing, propulsive cut anchored by muted guitar chords and bright synths, which explores his bond with his mother in the wake of his father –entertainer Rikki Organ – passing away in 2016.
“Throughout that challenging time, my mum was my unwavering support, and the song captures our conversations,” Organ says. The track was recorded with producer Chris Collins, who also worked with Organ on Necessary Evil. It arrives alongside a video directed by Organ himself, shot and edited by Mikey Conlon, that captures the singer-songwriter and his band performing. Watch that below.
