The international singer-songwriter
known as Paula Punch has released her latest official single, “My
Other Shoe.” The track comes on the heels of her popular November
release, “Don't Look Down.” It is expected to herald the upcoming
release of her debut LP record, the title of which has not been
announced. Fun, genuine, and assertive in the way her fans have come
to expect, “My Other Shoe” is the latest reason for fans of the
singer-songwriter genre to sit up and take note of this rock-n-roll
chanteuse from Australia.
Paula Punch has cited as main
influences for her new song Ron Sexsmith, LP, Joni Mitchell, Lucinda
Williams, the Pretenders, Annie Lennox, the Seekers, Fleetwood Mac,
and Elton John. Her usual style takes a rock form not unlike those of
Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge and Sarah McLachlan, et al. Fans can
expect the same soulful and inspiring voice they've come to love in
“My Other Shoe,” this time largely in the McLachlan and Tori Amos
vein accompanied by piano and a haunting electric guitar.
Speaking of the themes of “My Other
Shoe,” Punch writes, “'My Other Shoe' is about passion and living
in the moment, being open to where passion leads and listening to our
heart instead of the voices in our mind, facing fears head-on and not
being confined by walls around us. It's about feeling the strength of
our spirit.”
Paula Punch began in music young,
performing at Sydney Town Hall at an early age, performing in the
Philharmonic Motet Choir at various Sydney Opera House concerts in
her late teens, and playing in bands in her early 20s. In college she
began singing for a variety of advertising campaigns, which led to
her meeting legendary studio maverick and future husband, Philip
Punch (Electric Ave. Studios) who recorded and produced her first
demos.
After starting a family and working as
a fashion buyer for a time, Punch has said, “I needed to find my
own voice.” She has facilitated this through her Punch Park
website, which has been described as “dedicated to expressing her
creativity through fashion, music and art,” where Punch shares her
stories by recording and performing original music.
Punch herself has described her music
as “personal, yet it talks to women about modern life, living in
the city and the joy and struggle that comes from the constant
juggling.”
Paula Punch was awarded Fifth Place
nationally in the ASA Songwriting Competiton for her “Take Me Back”
single, which is expected to appear on her forthcoming debut LP
album. Her recent material has been produced by Rob Gist, guitarist
on “Girl Overboard.”
“My Other Shoe” by Paula Punch is
available from over 600 quality digital music sellers online
worldwide now. Get in early, fans of singer-songwriter music. Very
early.
