Ziggy Alberts Continues His Huge Year With New Single: "Intentions (22)"

The new single from Australia’s self-made indie sensation, Ziggy Alberts, “Intentions (22)”, was unveiled via triple j on August 21st. This follows a string of exciting projects from what has been a massive year for Ziggy. From the release of his Live EP ‘A Postcard From An Australian Summer’ and a performance at this year’s Splendour In The Grass, to a wildly successful national tour announcement for November 2019 with all Sydney, Fremantle and Melbourne shows sold out and an additional Adelaide show added to meet demand. 

“‘Intentions' is, as my friend described it, a point marker track; a ‘this-is-where-I'm-at’ song, and details the last year of my life post-releasing 'Laps Around The Sun'. I am continuing to grow as a singer-songwriter. As opposed to sticking to one genre and limiting myself, I'm trying to explore new directions. It was recorded in New York and I'm jestingly describing it as a ‘folk/rap’ song," said Ziggy. 

“Intentions (22)” is a deeply self-reflective and personal track, divulging Ziggy’s own take on the hardships of life on the road and relationships made along the way; an authenticity which simultaneously resonates with listeners in their own lives. Set against a fresh melodious pop-rap beat layered with his classic percussive acoustic guitar rhythms, Ziggy fans are given a new take on his signature style in this latest earworm track.

As a pillar in the self-funded independent Australian artists realm, Ziggy Alberts has taken his talents globally in recent years, building a dedicated grassroots following. Ziggy’s uniquely compelling storytelling abilities shine through every one of his tracks with a reflection of what he holds close to him wherever he goes: a passion for the environment and his ocean-side upbringing. 

Ziggy’s hugely successful album 'Laps Around The Sun' premiered on Billboard Magazine in 2018, was awarded ‘Feature Album’ on triple j, and has since been streamed over 61 million times on Spotify alone. Recently, his single "Love Me Now", was also nominated for 2019 APRA Song of the Year.
