EDIE Breaks Down Her Debut EP 'Unsaid' Track By Track

EDIE
Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.

A Perth/ Boorloo-based artist who crafts indie pop wth grim imagery, EDIE's brand of music will appeal to fans of Olivia Rodrigo, Gwen Stefani, and K.Flay.

After releasing a string of singles since her 2022 debut 'Blame Me', EDIE leans into bold, fiery and unapologetic main character energy on her debut EP 'Unsaid'.

A gothic-sounding organ intro track that sounds like it was lifted from a cult 1970s vampire flick segues into 'Lie To Me' with its bubblegum flavoured, sultry alt-rock that's equally menacing as it's alluring.

'Villain' hosts a faster beat, the indie-punk tones blending with a bedroom riot grrl melody that's equal parts sing-along as it is a cathartic dance-circle for sad, romantic hearts.

A melting pot of punk-grunge-alternative-shoegaze, 'Cool Girl' sounds exactly like the person you have a crush on, whether that's at high school, navigating your 20s or acting like an adult as the 30s merge into the 40s – one thing is apparent, Dr. Martens are not optional as EDIE rallies against the stereotypical 'cool girl' persona.

The EP signs off with the delightfully emotive ballad 'Forget Me' that's drenched in melancholic feels, EDIE capturing the essence of hopelessness that lost love brings.



"'Unsaid' dives into everything I didn't say and didn't get the chance to. It's an extremely personal project, showing a new and vulnerable side to me," says EDIE, who shares some background tidbits about each track that creatures on 'Unsaid'.

Intro

I knew when making this EP that I really wanted to create an intro. I'm very inspired visually and sonically by gothic themes and this intro perfectly captures the eeriness and the unknown that was going through my mind.

Lie To Me

This track explores that betrayal you feel after an ex moves on with the person they told you not to worry about! It was a very therapeutic writing experience. I basically went into the studio with all my anger and this is what came out.

Villain

'Villain' is about feeling like you need to make someone the villain in order to move on, but also slowly realising you're projecting good qualities onto someone who wasn't always a good person to you.

Cool Girl

This song tackles with all the expectations men put on you, especially in the dating world. It's me fighting against the chill, cool girl that some men want because it's impossible.

Forget Me

After a long-term relationship ended, I felt very hopeless and alone. 'Forget Me' is me trying to understand this pain and how someone could move on so quickly. It's me desperately trying to hold on to a person who no longer wants you.
