The singer and songwriter of acoustic
pop and adult contemporary music known as Paula Punch has released
her latest official single, "Lucky Girl." The track has
been proudly published on the Punch Park independent record and
fashion label without the direction of the corporate music industry.
Heartfelt, outspoken, and built on a solid groove, "Lucky Girl"
showcases Paula Punch to be one of Australia's most genuine indie
music artists for 2017.
Sydney's Paula Punch cites as main
artistic influences LP (Laura Pergolizzi), and "everything from
opera to rock, blues, folk and pop." She's quick to mention her
upbringing in classical music, and the effect of being married to an
Elvis and Stax Records fan. “I also loved all the raw energy of
bands like The Pretenders and The Eurythmics and the genius of Joni
Mitchell,” she writes. Her own music is most similar to that of the
aforementioned LP, whose career as a performer is undercut by her
titanic work as a songwriter for the likes of Cher, Rihanna, the
Backstreet Boys, Christina Aguilera, and more.
"I just love, love, love LP at the
moment," writes Paula Punch. "I immediately felt I had met
a musical sister."
The likeness is immediately apparent in
Punch's straightforward approach to song crafting. Her structure is
standard pop, her lyrics equal parts earnestness and radio hooks.
Appropriately, "Lucky Girl" is presented in its studio form
without bells and whistles beyond the considerable talents of Punch,
and her producer Rob Gist. The music fan gets the impression that
she's right there, playing live for an audience of one.
Rob Gist has brought his great
experience as a sound engineer, music producer, and performer in the
band Girl Overboard, when working on Paula's songs.
Asked to describe the themes of her new
single, Punch writes, "[It's about] my life experiences, my
goals, my disappointments, my joy, my love."
Paula Punch has been in music since her
youth, playing guitar, singing in the Philharmonic Motet Choir,
fronting university bands, recording as a session singer, and often
providing backing vocals for famed guitarist Ed Kuepper (The Saints),
and other Australian artists including Anne Kirkpatrick. She is the
founding member of the popular women's singer-songwriter event in
Sydney, "The Friday Girls," at which venue female artists
debut new material live before an audience in a supportive
environment.
The Friday Girls has been called home
by artists including Jackie Bristow, Suzy Connolly, Fiona Kernaghan,
Corrine Gibbons, Helen Ryder, Greta Gertler and popular duo Joy and
Lara (Joy Howard and Lara Goodridge).
"Rob and I hope to continue
bringing these songs to life," Punch says, "that tell the
story of a woman living and working in Sydney, and some of the joys
and struggles that come with modern life, and being a "Lucky
Girl" in a lucky country!"
"Lucky Girl" by Paula Punch
is available online worldwide beginning 12 July 2017 from over 600
quality digital music stores.
