Aussie singer G Flip uses big, bold pop sounds to conquer fear and doubt. See why she's an Artist You Need to Know
Three years ago, she was an out-of-work drummer who had played in every kind of band imaginable — pop-punk, prog-rock, alternative, something she calls “a pop girl band” — but she was still building up the nerve to step into the spotlight herself. At her mother’s insistence, she’d gotten a degree in drum performance as a fallback and at that point, she was falling back on it, teaching drums.
In March of last year, G Flip got onstage for the first time by herself at South by Southwest. Three weeks earlier, she’d released “About Us” as a single — Rechtshaid describes the song as “pretty magical” — and built enough buzz that her four sets became some of the fest’s most talked-about performances.
When she first started getting anxiety attacks in September 2018, she didn’t know how to deal with, because, in her words, “I used to be so ignorant to other people, like, ‘Why are you so stressed?'” But she turned to that song and found it soothing. “A lot of the plane rides I had around that time never had Wi-Fi, so I only had the music that was on my phone,” she says.
Now that her life is as stable as it can be for an in-demand musician, G Flip has started looking ahead to what’s next. “I’m getting weird and experimental at the moment,” she says. “I just want to literally get a bagpipe player and sample it, put it through a crusher and, like, destroy it and see what kind of weird sound I can come up with. My music after this album is a little bit more experimental with style and genre, just mixing things up a little bit more.
