Estella Dawn has dropped a uptempo track Buzzcut, the first single release from her forthcoming full length out later in the year. Fans of SIA and Taylor Swift will like.

With over 80,000 Spotify monthly listeners, the 24 year old Colorado based artist released a slew of singles and was a semi-finalist on New Zealand’s Got Talent.

Inspired by Jack Johnson and Corinne Bailey Rae’s self titled album, Sarah says, “I’ve found that my lyrics always tend towards the sombre side, so for this single I wanted to juxtapose it with energetic riffs and guitar solos. It’s the first recording I made with my band, which gave me way more scope and depth musically. The song is about falling for someone who you know is no good, but it isn’t a downcast tune at all.”
