Western Australian singer-songwriter, Adele Oliver, is quickly establishing herself as one the

country’s more discerning storytellers. Her previous offering, ‘Wiley Blue’, reached #24 on the

Country Songs Top 40 Australian airplay chart with its poignant lyricism and rustic sound. Adele

reveals her follow-up single, the hauntingly perceptive, ‘Angel’ released on 24th October ‘24.

From the get-go Adele’s vocal sounds effortless, floating atop a wiry acoustic guitar. The

singer’s words invite you to listen carefully as she ruminates on a dysfunctional relationship. “It’s

likely an accumulation of the frustration that I had felt in a number of romantic relationships,

where I was being held to a higher standard than they were holding for themselves,” says Adele

of the song’s origin.

“I’m stepping off this pedestal back down to earth / You’ll never find a perfect girl,” she declares

in the song's second verse – a section which almost never came to be. “For a while the song

had a different second verse that wasn’t quite clicking. When we were in the studio working on

the arrangement, I quickly penned another second verse that felt a bit truer to what I was trying

to convey.”

Adele’s perceptive brand of alt-country has certainly pricked some ears. With the previous,

‘Wiley Blue’ not only earning her the #24 spot on the Country Songs Top 40 Australian airplay

chart, but also scoring an addition the Apple Music’s ‘Aussie Country’ editorial playlist.

Adele Oliver continues to solidify her place as one of Australia's emerging talents. Her ability to

craft emotionally charged and relatable narratives is sure to resonate with listeners far and wide.

Her debut EP To Home & Heartbreak is set to be released in January 2025.
