In a recent episode of the Unfiltered and Undiscovered Podcast, hosts Curly, Braggy, and Rossy had the pleasure of interviewing Adele Oliver, a talented country music artist from the Kimberleys in Western Australia. Adele’s journey into music is as unique as her sound, blending elements of alt-country and folk to create something truly special.
The Kimberleys: A Source of Inspiration
Adele’s music is deeply influenced by her surroundings in the Kimberleys. This remote and beautiful region of Australia provides a backdrop that inspires her songwriting. “It’s the landscape, the stories, the histories, and the uniqueness of those stories that is inspiring,” Adele shares. She finds inspiration in the open road, driving through the vastness of the Kimberleys, where the isolation allows her creativity to flourish.
The Journey into Music
Adele’s journey into music began at a young age, harmonizing with her sister in the backseat of her parents’ car. However, it wasn’t until she moved to Fitzroy Crossing at the age of 23 that she truly realized the power of songwriting. “I did love music and I played music in different forms and wrote songs, but that was probably one of my pivotal moments of realizing how powerful songwriting can be,” she reflects.
The Sound of Adele Oliver
Adele’s music is often described as alt-country, a genre that blends traditional country sounds with indie and folk influences. Her songs, such as “Angel” and “Wiley Blue,” showcase her powerful vocals and storytelling ability. “Angel” is a song about the complexities of relationships, while “Wiley Blue” offers a delicate take on the world of rodeo.
Collaborations and Recording
Working with producer James Newhouse, known for his work with The Waifs, Adele has crafted songs that capture the essence of her sound. “I was really, really happy with the people I chose to be in my team on this song, because I feel like they got it to the point where I never imagined it, but if I had imagined it, it would have been this,” Adele says.
The Road Ahead
Looking to the future, Adele is excited about her upcoming tour, which includes a stop at the Tamworth Country Music Festival. This will be her first big tour, and she plans to release her new EP, “To Home and Heartbreak,” in February.
