Geelong-based singer-songwriter Luke Biscan's newest release, 'Nothing To Do With Us', will ferret itself deep into your emotional core.
An independent artist who first gained mainstream attention in 2020 when he appeared on 'The Voice Australia', where he was mentored by Guy Sebastian reaching the battle rounds, Luke's catalogue has been streamed nearly 500k times on Spotify.
Although raised on the rock & roll of Zeppelin and Hendrix, his father being the original lead guitarist of Aussie legends Goanna (before he relocated to the UK as a missionary), Luke's current musicality is leaning into softer, folky, acoustic territory, evidenced by his first new music of 2026.
Beautifully tranquil, the opening piano chords of 'Nothing To Do With Us' transport you to a place of serenity, the cinematic pop vibes oozing through the speakers.
Luke's dusty yet crisp breathy-vocals provide a matte-like finish, his natural vibrato adding a lushness that's heightened by a gorgeously strummed acoustic guitar.
When the song finally kicks into gear, the joyful breeziness it exudes is intoxicating, the kind of timeless folky-pop melody that generates goosebumps in all the right places.
The opulent production furthers the song's classiness with orchestral flourishes (performed by members of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) paired to luscious sonic space that allows the melody to breathe, the instrumentation seeping into all of the song's crevices for a fully-bodied flavour that makes it an instant ear worm, the type of song you'll add to your favoured playlist in a heartbeat.
With the addition of chirping birds at the end, it could also soundtrack an end-of-movie scene, the kind that portrays the protagonist driving off into a sunset or a picturesque natural panorama, the camera panning to the heavens before the credits roll.
Ahead of the song's release tomorrow (17 April), today scenestr is thrilled to premiere 'Nothing To Do With Us'. Enjoy.
"I grew up around a lot of classic rock, but I've gravitated more toward songwriters who leave space in a track," shares Luke. "If it sounds too perfect, I get suspicious.
"This one's softer. Clean guitars, smooth edges – a bit of that early-'90s warmth, but it's still all live. The strings were tracked in a friend's kitchen – a couple of Melbourne Symphony players squeezed in there – so it's polished without feeling sterile."
'Nothing To Do With Us' is the second single from Luke's upcoming album, due later this year.
