Kylie, Genesis Owusu and David Bridie: Australia’s best new music for June

For fans of: Ava Max, Eurovision, all the fake-sounding RuPaul songs Related: Kylie Minogue ‘bursting with joy’ as new single Padam Padam soars up charts Padam Padam, the first single from Kylie Minogue’s forthcoming 16th album Tension, has proven as inescapable (and about as subtle) as an airborne virus. The track has been subject to hundreds of memes and thousands of text messages from mums to their gay sons: “What’s ‘padam’?”The memes, combined with the overt ridiculousness of the whole affair – a dead-serious Eurodance track built around the onomatopoeic sound of a heartbeart – have pushed Padam Padam to Kylie’s highest singles chart placement in over a decade.

Genesis Owusu returns with bold new single ‘GTFO’

Genesis Owusu has returned, entering a post-‘Smiling With No Teeth’ era with new single ‘GTFO’.The Ghanaian-Australian artist’s first song for the year was co-written with frequent collaborators Michael DiFrancesco (Touch Sensitive) and Andrew Klippel along with Jono Ma. Klippel and Ma produced the track alongside Dann Hume.It’s a slow-burner that sees Owusu delivering introspective verses above a woozy, choral backdrop, before warbled synths and a marching drum-like beat foreground the deceptively triumphant refrain: “Get the fuck out.”‘GTFO’ arrives alongside a video directed by Rhett Wade-Ferrell (aka Uncle Friendly) that opens with Owusu kneeling in prayer before, increasingly frenzied, hunting down a cockroach in his house, causing destruction to his surrounds throughout.
