Hometown Evangeline

Music, as we know, can be a great healer, both for the listener and often those behind the music. Geelong gal Evangeline recently released her debut single ‘Chemicvl’, a dark electro-pop number about the loss of a friend to drugs, written while she was still at school. “The song is almost an inner war with myself. It delves between substance abuse, how it can seem like a magical thing, how it is an escape for some and how it affected the one person this song was about,” she told The AU Review. “This song was just a bittersweet reflection. In ten words, this song is a mixed reality and an honest reflection.” Pip Norman (TZU) is behind the track’s production, while the likes of Jan Skubiszewski (Way of the Eagle), The Amity Affliction’s Dan Brown, Neal Sutherland (Bertie Blackman) and acclaimed singer-songwriter Mark Wilkinson have all lent their services in one way or another. Born and raised in Geelong, Evangeline is a classically trained singer and pianist. After three years of intense study, she achieved the highest classical grade in opera. However, the pull of pop music proved too great, leading her to the direction of Razor Recordings who were unable to deny her talent. Make sure you head on down to her hometown launch at Bended on July 19.
