For fans of Alberts’ ARIA Gold-certified album, “Laps Around the Sun”, this new track brings a familiar sound, yet with some deeper tones and more exploratory vocals. As one of Australia’s best self-made success stories, Ziggy Alberts has become a beloved performer the world over. Widely touring internationally playing to thousands off the back of his successful 2022 album “Dancing in the Dark” this solidified him as one of Australia’s most cherished musical voices and performers overseas.

With a remarkable track record, boasting six Gold singles, seven Platinum singles, a Gold-certified album, a Platinum EP, and a Double Platinum single, Ziggy’s music continues to captivate listeners with his soul-comforting albums, which are loved on repeat by so many. “New Love” captures the charm and sentiment at the heart of Alberts’ music. His collaboration with fellow artist and producer Garrett Kato, who contributed to production, engineering, and additional instrumentation, has enhanced Alberts’ unique style of sonic world-building with added musical flair.

Thematically, “New Love” draws from Alberts’ personal experiences, “I wrote ‘New Love’ in the middle of the UK leg of my 2023 REWIND World Tour. It was a song that was a reflection of where I was at, in that moment of writing. Which was different from my usual approach to writing, where I’d write about things or moments that either already happened, or what I wanted to happen. It captured how I felt and what was unfolding in my life, and instead of providing a resolution, it was nice to write about precisely how things were/are. While there are echoes of my earlier works in the writing style and arrangement, this song introduces a new melodic delivery for me, setting it apart from anything I’ve done before.” The track is both melodic, rhythmic and ultra-catchy, and this stripped-down acoustic version will surely have fans fall ever harder in love with this Aussie’s music.

“Folk-hewn but modern-facing, his work sits alongside those early Ben Howard cuts or even Jack Johnson, that kind of slick but still endearing earnest musicality.”

“Alberts has proven time and time again that his back to basics approach to production and songwriting has left him one of the most reliably authentic artists on the scene.”
