Emily C Browning is the indie-soul artist you want to keep a secret from your friends because you want to be able to say 'I liked her before she was famous.'

Her ability to craft rule-breaking earworms inspired by a love of Motown and neo-soul, coupled with introspective (and often deeply personal lyrics), has helped her win fans around the globe.

Our Making Tracks featured artist's single 'I Wasn't Into You Anyway' is as addictive as her other musical creations.

After a lifetime of having to spell her name, Victoria Girling-Butcher has opted for VGB. The New Plymouth artist is our Making Tracks feature this week with single 'The Giver And The Gift'.

'The Giver and The Gift' is a song on polarity, fuelled by driving guitars and bass remembered long after the final note.

Life in the past decade for VGB has certainly brought changes – disbanding Lucid 3, moving to Paris, returning to Aotearoa, marriage and a daughter, guitarist in Sire Dave Dobbyn's band, and becoming a ‘dudette’ for Th' Dudes' final shows.
