Back in 2021, acclaimed Geelong, Australia-based singer/songwriter and musician Bella Deer released pop hit tune “Care Too Much,” which was a finalist in that year’s APRA AMCOS Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition and last year’s Nashville-based International Songwriting Competition.

Building upon a growing international profile, the rising Aussie artist has opened for the likes of Mia Dyson and Thirsty Merc. She has also made the rounds of the international touring schedule, playing at Ferrara Buskers Festival.

The Aussie artist’s latest single “Shipwreck Coast” pairs her attention grabbing, powerhouse vocal with a lush and anthemic arrangement featuring twinkling and arpeggiated synths, arena rock friendly hooks and choruses and enormous power chords. While revealing an artist, who can craft a remarkably catching 80s-inspired hook, “Shipwreck Coast, is inspired by the Aussie state of Victoria’s coastline, which features shipwrecks near Loch Ard Gorge. But it also talks about how the Geelong-based artist feels called by the state’s coastline.

“I was driving one night and felt drawn to the coast. When I feel overwhelmed, I find myself there,” Bella Deer says. “Coastlines in Victoria hold a strange power, although they’re wild and fierce they’re also healing and a perfect place for contemplation.
