Live Review: Airling bestows tour dates and lush new single ‘Give Me All You Got’

Brisbane’s electronic pop dream queen AIRLING (Hannah Shepherd) has presented us with her latest single ‘Give Me All You Got’ -  another teaser off of her upcoming debut LP, Hard To Sleep, Easy To Dream.

Anticipation is certainly growing for its release; we now have several glimpses of what Airling’s LP has in-store for us and so far we have been offered an array of compositions that display her elusive, captivating vocals with a diversity of silky and punchier breaks.

‘Give Me All You Got’ is a stark contrast on her previous releases from this LP, presenting more relaxed and stripped-back vibes than her other previews, ‘Not A Fighter’ and ‘Move On’.

Smooth, lo-fi synths and simple, crisp beats build a serene platform for Airling to layer on, with her signature tranquil vocals being the driving force of the song’s gentle verses.

As textures build and complexity ensues through to the chorus sections, more and more sound elements are added to guide ‘Give Me All You Got’ to a superlative and thumping apex, beautifully juxtaposing the track’s softer ethereal ambiences.

Hard To Sleep, Easy To Dream will be released in full on April 28, with a full national tour to follow in most capital cities. LP pre-orders and ticket purchases can be made through Airling’s website, so check out the tour dates below!
