Gretta Ray has quite rightly had a massive year with high rotation on the national broadcaster and lots of love from the music press. Her track “Unexpected Feeling” is such a joy to listen to – and to be honest when I first heard it I had no idea that Ray was still in high school. There’s a definite maturity in her songwriting and I just love her guitar work on this track. 17-year-old Melbourne based Gretta Ray is one to watch in 2017, as she independently releases her debut EP ‘Elsewhere’ and first single ‘Unexpected Feeling’ Gretta Ray’s intriguing way of combining lyrical complexities that express personal feelings of love and heartache, with tongue-in-cheek facetious anecdotes, is only part of what makes this young talent so unique.
The emerging Australian musician wrote the 4-track EP when she was just 15 years old. Now 17, the wise-beyond-her-years artist collaborated with producer Joshua Barber, known for his work alongside Australian artists Gotye and Archie Roach, on her debut, which was recorded at The Aviary Recording Studios in Melbourne.
