LIZZIE HOSKING Shares New Dark Pop Single “Mother Is Medusa”

With her effortless integration of dreamy vocals, exciting synthesisers, and exciting, punchy drums, Lizzie Hosking has created new single “Mother is Medusa.”

For the Adelaide-based singer/songwriter, ‘Mother is Medusa’, out on Thursday, October 15th, follows her most recent release, ‘unforgettable.’ and sees Hosking dive into a hard hitting, punchy, opinionated story. This new single, ‘Mother is Medusa’, captures the frustration and disappointment of bullying and negativity.

Hosking has spent the past years of her career receiving support from Triple J and Triple J Unearthed, alongside accruing national and international radio play. Following her time in London, where Hosking collaborated with international artists and honed her artistry, she has returned to Adelaide to further solidify her status as an established Australian voice. Most recently, Lizzie Hosking was selected for the Helpmann Academy’s Creative Innovator Program, where she is currently working alongside industry leaders to champion resilience, representation, and connection in her work.

With a charming, calculating allure and a prevailing sense of tension, ‘Mother is Medusa” captures the feeling of being trapped in a forest on your own. Dark-pop influences, pulsing production and an undercurrent of tension combine to create a track that is both immersive and infectious.

Fuelled by a ruminating beat, shimmering electronic elements, and an all-encompassing bassline, ‘Mother ‘is Medusa” captures the intensity, frustration and undeniable fire of a confident woman. Speaking on the track, Hosking states:

“Mother is Medusa” is a track about remembering who you are, beyond what people tell you. Finding confidence within yourself and questioning the people who try to tear you down. The product of enchantment and excitement, ‘Mother Is Medusa’ by Lizzie Hosking is out Thursday, October 15th.
