Harvey Sutherland - 'Changes'

I caught Harvey Sutherland at Laneway recently and it was one of my highlights of the day alongside Fred Again, Ross From Friends and Jungle Giants, and I am super excited to see he has some new music to share with us this week!

This song is called ‘Changes’ and it is a very catchy disco-house inspired song that is so very easy to bounce along to. It’s one of those songs you can stick on repeat for hours and not get sick of it. More of this please Harvey!

“When my daughter was born, I would rock her to sleep singing little mantras and made-up songs. There was one idea that stood out —“going through some changes” — so I went to the studio and started building a track around it. When I finished the tune, I realised I had accidentally re-recorded the hook to ‘Changes’ by Sandy Rivera, an amazing 2002 house record I used to listen to when I was a teenager, but I hadn’t thought about in 20 years. Somehow it had buried its way into my subconscious, and re-emerged as a lullaby.

I’ve reconnected deeply with the sounds of UK club music, as anyone who’s heard me DJ in recent years can attest. I’ve been making heaps of choppy soulful garage beats recently, and Changes feels like a nice introduction to this body of work.” ~ Harvey Sutherland
