Known for her remarkable voice, emotional honesty and ability to translate difficult subject matter into rich pop songs, Cairns-based artist Greta Stanley has been on a rising trajectory over the past few years.
Taken from her forthcoming sophomore album, new single ‘Close Call’ is another collaboration with producer/co-writer Tristan Barton, who is best known for his acclaimed film soundtrack work. Incorporating subtle hip-hop production influences and a stream-of-consciousness style lyrical delivery into her signature indie-pop/folk sound for the first time, ‘Close Call’ may be Stanley’s finest and most unique song yet. Check out the lyric video for ‘Close Call’ HERE.

Stanley says of the track “Close Call actually started as a set of lyrics that I’ve had for ages… years actually. I always liked these words, so Tristan and I wrote new music to them. It’s about being frustrated with people’s egos, needing solitude and trying to step away to protect myself. It’s a reminder to myself not to be manipulated or get lost in someone else’s world. The chorus lyric – “draw those blinds, I need an honest light” is basically me saying you can’t hide in the daylight.”
This exquisite song is an exciting harbinger of what’s to come from her second record, which will also feature recent single ‘Hope It Lands’ (also produced by Barton) – the second most Spotify playlisted song in Australia on the day of its release.
Greta has been busy putting the finishing touches on her second album, due for release early 2022, with a bunch of creatives in Cairns, North Queensland.
“Coming from Mena Creek, a tiny town south of Innisfail and being based in Cairns for most of my 20’s, I’ve felt so grateful to be able to collaborate with other local creatives for the recording of my new album. I believe Cairns hosts a lot of talent. The record was predominantly recorded with two Far North Queensland based producers, Tristan Barton and Mark Myers, who I have been musically involved with since the beginning of my career in music. Tristan also plays drums in my band. I’ve also worked with two incredible female photographers who I plan to work with again for videography. I’m so proud to have the support of a great artist community up here. I can’t wait to share the album with everyone.”
With millions of streams to her name, numerous festival appearances and a list of support slots that reads like a who’s who of Australian indie pop (Amy Shark, Tash Sultana, Eves Karydas and countless others), now’s the time to get on board this truly exceptional artist, if you aren’t already.
