WILSN has shared her new single ‘Brand New World’, which looks set to be her biggest moment so far. Her world class vocal simmers with soul and strength as she delivers an empowering message of positivity to a world wracked with anxiety. “It’s a brand new world,” she sings, her voice akin to Motown for the streaming age, “Take control.”
“This was an opportunity to create a song that is a nod to some of my more traditional soul influences from the late 60’s. I spent a lot of my childhood performing with big bands and orchestras and soul music was one of my first loves”- says WILSN.
Dating back to the start of her career, ‘Brand New World’ is a song with an unusual history. WILSN wrote the song in bed during a writing trip to NewYorkCity, tapping away at the miniature keys on a piano app on her phone. Although the song didn’t immediately live up to its potential, WILSN knew that there was something special there – she just needed to find a way to unlock its brilliance.
That moment came years later in her hometown of Melbourne. After expanding the song into a richer, sumptuous arrangement with the addition of a dramatic crescendo of horns, ‘Brand New World’ was ready to take flight. And in a fortuitous moment, Harman Kardon – creators of beautiful sound and sophisticated design – chose the song as the perfect soundtrack for their Citation advertising campaign. Citation is a stunning line of voice-controlled, multi-room speakers with contemporary sculptural design.
