Australian singer-songwriter Ziggy Alberts has today unveiled his latest single ‘Outlaw’. This emotionally charged track offers a candidly personal glimpse of Alberts’ growth as both an artist and individual.
‘Outlaw’ is a poignant reflection on shedding societal expectations and embracing one’s true self. Alberts shares, ” This song is about changing course for the better. Standing up for yourself more often. Being kinder, letting yourself be a little more human.”
Co-produced by Garrett Kato, whose collaborative efforts have previously yielded the critically acclaimed ‘Laps Around The Sun’ album, ‘Outlaw’ features Ziggy’s emotive vocals layered over rich guitar tones, creating a captivating blend of rock, folk, and pop influences, reminiscent of artists like The Lumineers and Kings Of Leon.
The recording process for ‘Outlaw’ was marked by moments of artistic exploration. Under Kato’s guidance, Alberts pushed the boundaries of his vocal range, resulting in raw and emotive performances that elevate the track to new heights.
With lyrics like “If I could remain more unfazed, you could be something earned not won”, ‘Outlaw’ invites listeners on a journey of introspection and self-discovery. It’s a song that speaks to the universal human experience of navigating life’s challenges and embracing one’s true identity.
‘Outlaw’ marks another milestone in Ziggy Alberts’ illustrious career, following the international success of his previous single, ‘New Love’. Set against the backdrop of Ziggy Alberts’ extensive 2024 New Love World Tour, ‘Outlaw’ is a testament to Alberts’ distinctive musical style and is poised to resonate with audiences worldwide.
It’s a song that not only showcases Alberts’ progression as an artist but also offers listeners a message of hope and empowerment.
