Michelle Sutton’s knack for penning snappy, tongue-in-cheek songs that exude a charming sass continues with her latest single, the pop-rock “Gutless Wonder”. This one’s for anyone who has to deal with clowns in their lives and those are only intent on bringing you down and wasting your time.

“Gutless Wonder” is bookended with the lyrics, “You’re what my mum would call a gutless wonder, I bet you hide from thunder. Everything is always someone else’s fault” sung with all the ironic shade that Michelle can sweetly deliver. Recorded earlier in the year at Ralph Street Studios, Michelle got the inspiration for the song after a funny exchange with her friend who unfortunately was being bullied by a mutual annoyance.

Their shared experience was the foundation for writing “Gutless Wonder” a song that disarms the power of a bully and confronts the toxic behaviour of people in their lives. The song is a cheeky clapback in Michelle’s interminable style featuring her witty take on relationships, coupled with the indie-pop tempo and unfettered guitar riffs the song shares the same stylistic lanes of other Aussie artists Mallrat and Camp Cope.

With its buoyant melody “Gutless Wonder” shows off Michelle’s personality and her ability to convey darker themes with humour and honest reflection. Lending a hand to the songwriting is Ingrid Oram and their partnership makes the essence of the pop song shine. The power of the song lies with Michelle not the toxic person and she embraces her agency in the most infectious head-bopping way.

It’s confident pop that stands tall as a song for those who feel frustrated or defeated by their relationships. Set for release across digital stores on Friday the 4th of November, “Gutless Wonder” is well worth your attention and is likely to become a song of solace when times get tough.


“Gutless Wonder” will will be available across all digital stores on Friday, 4th of November.
