Even amongst all Melbourne's emerging talent, six-piece collective Empress stand out with their mesmerizing new track, “Lately.”

A groovy, synth-based record laced with R&B and electro-dance sensibilities, “Lately” captures the cyclical nature of healing and hurting. With hypnotic melodies and soulful vocals—indicative of the group's roots studying Jazz and Improvisation together at the Victorian College of the Arts—there is never a dull moment in this dynamic effort.

Finishing with a grand, electrifying final chorus, this track and band are sure to sick with you.
