Following a string of expressive pop music, delivered with the heartfelt and honest lyricism for which he’s become known, will hyde has managed to create a devout following across the US and Australia, with fans and industry alike. Releasing his debut EP in 2020, the 22 year Melbourne/Naarm based singer-songwriter has gone on to write some of his most compelling works to date throughout 2021. With the coming of age single ‘boy.’, ‘our neighbours.’ and ‘fukced up.’, will now offers the fourth and final instalment ‘addicted.’ before the release of his sophomore EP ‘nothing ever changes.’ due for release on Friday 10th December via Pack Records – pre-save HERE.

With a strong focus on mental health and personal development, the tone for many of his singles has been vastly introspective. ‘addicted.’ sees will yearn after a lost love, whilst continuing to paint a vivid picture of his own struggles throughout, singing “it rips me to pieces to know that I’m peaceless. I’m scared of the feeling of healing, I’m sleepless.” Describing the process and intention for the lyrics, will shares “it shows how that same affection & deep love for someone can turn the other way and start to cause you real pain. I started writing & the words came to me as I went”.

In a moment of serendipity, chapter 5 of the visual album sees will explore the outside world once more, just as his hometown of Melbourne/Naarm opens up to life again following lockdown, succinctly following on from the isolation portrayed throughout the previous video ‘fukced up.’ Diving deeper into how the single is another part of his journey of self-discovery, will details “to me the song is about being in a stage where you would rather feel pain than love. It’s too hard to let that person go so I start to hold onto everything about them that I did have. All the little memories. That only drives me more crazy. I think it shows how the brain can use the same thing that made you love, cause pain. Pain & happiness live on the same coin and through my self exploration I have learned that I want to sit somewhere in between. A feeling of contentment, not feeling the need to hold onto relationships for a sense of self or purpose. It’s a realisation that I have to start living a life where I am at the centre, not at the whim of what other people expect and give me.”

Previously one half of producer duo SŸDE who achieved over 100m global streams and over 1 million monthly listeners, 22 year-old will hyde has already achieved some incredible success throughout his career to date having become a finalist of  triple j Unearthed High in 2017.
