E^ST Has Made Our Valentines Day with Lush New Track "Fresh Out Of Love"

Even after a massive 2019, including a feature on Kwame’s hit “NOBODY”, 2020 is set to be an even bigger year for E^ST, who has already been announced on the line-up for one of Australia’s biggest and most favoured regional festivals, Groovin’ The Moo, alongside world-class headliners like Tones and I, Clairo, Hayden James, and Gang Of Youths.

“My music’s always been driven by my emotional state,” said Melissa Bester, the force behind E^ST. “It’s the way I express how I’m feeling, but just as often it’s how I find out how I’m feeling.” Either way, she says, it ends up being raw; “As raw as I can possibly make it.”

The lavish new single from E^ST has been unveiled, and is already making waves in the alt-pop scene, having been premiered on triple j last week. Following up her 2019 bangers “FLIGHT PATH” and “TALK DEEP”, which became the number one most played song on triple j and earnt the 70th spot in the station’s coveted Hottest 100 countdown, “FRESH OUT OF LOVE” is an addictively melodic and opulent track which showcases E^ST’s stunning vocals and flair for extravagant production.

“This song is about feeling really empty after realising you’ve given all your love to someone who doesn’t love you back,” said E^ST.

In a world where it’s hard to know what’s real, E^ST’s opulent pop provides a rare glimpse of honesty. Historically, E^ST has used music to explore her passion for fantasy, poetry and storytelling, but now it is time for a new chapter. Her debut album “I’M DOING IT”, set for release in June 2020, was recorded with acclaimed long-term collaborator Jim Eliot (Ellie Goulding, Anne-Marie, Halsey), and centers on dealing with heartbreak and feelings of isolation and failure. It signals a huge leap forward from her EP releases “Old Age” and “Life Ain’t Always Roses”, which drew plaudits from the likes of The Fader and Paper.
