Fazerdaze aka: Amelia Murray has today shared her new single “Bigger.” The track explores the inner world of the female psyche, and captures her journey into womanhood and how the pressures of being a touring musician have impacted her relationships back home. Fazerdaze will also be performing a run of shows alongside 88 Rising’s NIKI and DMA’S across Australia this September and October. This will be the first tour since her SOLD OUT solo tour last month in her home country, Aotearoa, New Zealand, and her 2023 support run with Lorde.

“Bigger” is the first new music since the release of the New Zealand multi-artist’s EP Break!, a cathartic collection of songs that marked her first new music in over five years. The EP was completed during a three-month long lockdown in NZ while Amelia was living in solitude for the first time, and directly in the aftermath of a nine year long relationship.

Candidly addressing the song’s meaning, Amelia explains, “I have often felt that ambition and being in the public eye can be a point of tension in my romantic relationships. I think this song is me trying to explore and overcome that with someone I cared about. For the production, I was exploring writing an anti-chorus. The synths do all the work and the vocal melody drops into a talk. I wanted to experiment with strange bendy synths and lean into a cinematic night time world.”
