Who’s ready to watch Australia shine?

Australian pop princess Jessica Mauboy enters 2018 with a bang with her new single We Got Love which she will use to qualify in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018. As Jessica was confirmed as Australia’s entry not too long ago, snippets of the new worldwide anthem have been teased greatly throughout the lead up to its release. Jessica rose to fame in 2006 on the fourth season of Australian Idol, where she placed as the runner up. Since then, there’s no denying that the songstress has been Australia’s biggest hit from the show as the last decade has brought us three platinum albums, as well as smash hits such as Burn, Saturday Night, Never be the Same and Fallin’. You can also catch Jessica as the lead in Channel 7’s hit television show The Secret Daughter.

The beginning of the instrumental sets the tone for a huge anthem perfectly. The use of a subtle build up of sounds and instruments highlights the vocals straight away and allows the audience to adapt to the message instantly. The prominent in and out drum beat puts focus on the important and dramatic aspects of the track which allows for those “wow” moments to be achieved smoothly. With a extremely rhythmic and upbeat tempo, the possibilities of how the audience may perceive the track are endless; one moment you’re really engaged within its message and the next you want to get up and let your body get loose to its powerful aura.

“Why do we believe that we need to

be somebody else to feel alive”

The tracks lyrics focus on themes of love and healing. Jessica stated to news.com.au that she wrote the song from a place of anger as events around the world were influencing her to write a track that would be uplifting and powerful. The love aspect was what encouraged her to embrace love as a form of healing throughout the lyrics as “seeing people standing tall and strong” truly inspired her. Throughout the track, the starlet sings about how the world may be feeling powerless but we should never give up as love has the strength to conquer all. Her vocals exceed expectations as her tone and riffs blend tremendously well with the solid message of the track.

With a track so easy to repeat and fall in love with, We Got Love gives Australia that in it to win it advantage. As Jessica has never failed to create nationwide hit after hit, this new track has the potential to go beyond Australia with the exciting benefit of gaining European exposure, as well as millions of new viewers. Apart from its Eurovision tag, the track itself is a simple, feel good melody that will without a doubt connect with fans and audiences to give Jessica her first smash hit for 2018. Whether you’re feeling a little down or in need of a boogie, We Got Love has the magic to cater for all.
