Brisbane-based singer-songwriter EVES KARYDAS returns in 2020 with new single ‘Complicated’. Deeply personal and somehow universally accessible, ‘Complicated’ is the kind of song that gets stuck in your head and tugs at your heart. The new track blends effortless pop production with Karydas’ clever, personal and sometimes tongue-in-cheek observations showcasing her talents as a skilful songwriter. Following last night’s premiere on triple j, the single is available on all platforms today and arrives along with the accompanying visual directed by Mick Soiza. Listen/Watch HERE

Written as part of an extended writing trip around the world in 2019, the song was penned during a writing session that was never meant to happen. Eves worked alongside co-writers Calle Lehmann and Max Thulin, and producer Magnus Lidehäll (Katy Perry, Galantis) in Stockholm, Sweden. Surrounded by an exciting creative ensemble and swept up in the energy around her, Karydas remembers the time as being an all hands on deck approach to capturing something exciting and special that they could collectively feel was within their grasp.
Speaking of the release, Karydas says: “The original day I had in the calendar was with Magnus Lidehäll, but he had to cancel at the last minute because he was stuck on an island (a very Swedish situation). So, instead in an 11th hour arrangement, I went in with Calle and Max, and we came up with ‘Complicated.’ Magnus then heard the song and loved it and said he wanted to produce it. And that’s how the song was finished. Complicated wouldn’t exist without any of those precariously shifting parts.
I went in with this idea because I’d just woken up having had this dream that my teeth were falling out. I Googled it and it told me I had an inferiority complex, which I thought was so funny. So, I went and I told the guys, ‘We should write about this and not make it super serious.’ They were like, ‘Yeah cool, let’s do it!’ It was one of those lightning bolt moments that happen every so often where there’s no struggle whatsoever and the song just writes itself.”
In a few short years, Karydas has established herself as one of the country’s brightest pop prospects. In 2018, she shared her debut album, summerskin, which featured a string of impressive singles including Gold record ‘Further Than The Planes Fly’, as well as ‘Couch’, ‘Damn Loyal’ and the ethereal ‘Wildest Ones’. Having collected 40 million streams and support from international tastemakers, Eves played a string of sold out tour dates across the country, scored support slots with Dua Lipa and George Ezra, and played a series of festivals including Byron Bay’s Splendour in the Grass.
‘Complicated’ is Eves Karydas emerging into her own, tapping deeper into herself than ever before and launching into an exciting new era.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
