Essie Holt - Silent Wars (2020)

With a six-track debut EP, the Sydney-via-Melbourne musician cements her place as a blossoming name in homegrown pop.

Essie Holt is someone who over the last few years, has very quickly become a shining light in Australia's pop world. Originally from Melbourne, the musician made a bright-lit entrance into Australia's blossoming electro-pop scene with her debut single Underwater and since then, has flourished into something spectacular, with every single she's put out since - her second song Magnetise, for example, was one of the best of that year's - seeing her solidify her craft as she weaves between productions both grand and synth-backed, and those a little more tender and subtle.
