Breakthrough Australian singer and songwriterĀ Peach PRCĀ reveals an emotionally charged new single and official video,Ā āHeavyā. Listen toĀ ‘Heavy’Ā HEREĀ via Island Records Australia & Republic Records.
On the track, she leans into melodic piano with vulnerable vocals and poetically plaintive lyrics. She holds each note with raw emotion as the hook rings out, āItās all Iāve been told, Iām heavy to hold.ā
The official video, shot in Sydney was directed by Stephanie Jane Day (Sloan Peterson, Holly Throsby, Emma Russack)
Stephanie says, āThe film we made for Peach PRC’s Heavy embraces the more interior and vulnerable side of us all, the isolation of feeling like a difficult person and knowing that you have a lot to give despite it. Finding peace and acceptance in the things you don’t have and can’t control.
I wanted to indulge on Peach’s behalf and take all this to a place of peace and beauty. I wanted the film to complement the song – I wanted Peach to know that even though she feels heavy – she has everything she needs to soarā.
Peach PRC initially teased āHeavyā on her TikTok. It ignited 523K views and 111K ālikesā on just a clip and stoked anticipation among audiences. It has notably emerged as āthe most requested song from her core fan baseā since her explosive breakout, certified Gold selling single ‘Josh.’
However, she has remained prolific, sharing a two-track Holiday bundle of anti-Christmas bops ‘Iāve Been Bad, Santa’ and ‘Christmas Kinda Sucks’. Listen HERE
