Earning her place as one of Australia’s most captivating new talents, Thandi Phoenix has performed as special guest for Jhene Aiko, Tinashe, Rudimental and Tinie Tempah. Today, the Sydney singer-songwriter reveals her new single Standing Too Close via Motto/Neon Records, before joining Vera Blue on her national tour this week.

Shining a light on her effortless and soulful vocals, Standing Too Close features hints of UK garage and South African house, a sound inspired by Phoenix’s South African heritage.

The release follows on from Phoenix’s 2016 single Tell Me Where All The Lovers Have Gone that topped the Australian Spotify Viral Chart and her 2015 debut, Come Around which laid the groundwork for her being named as FBI’s Independent Artist of the Week.

In the past year, Phoenix has taken the stage at Splendour in the Grass, Soulfest, Bluesfest and Curve Ball, performed at the Opera House together with Ta-ku, Wafia and Sampa The Great, as well as an appearance on Just A Gent’s triple j Like A Version of Kid Cudi’s Day N Nite.
