\"\"<\/a>Aussie rock royalty Sarah McLeod <\/em>has today announced her new single Wild Hearts<\/em>, a laid-back, content ode to finding fulfillment through creative endeavours.\u00a0 Lifted from her self-produced new album, Rocky\u2019s Diner<\/em> \u2013 her first solo album in 12 years – released on August 18, the talented vocalist, guitarist and songwriter, who first found fame in the late 1990s with 3X ARIA Award winning rock band The Superjesus<\/em>, has also dropped a gorgeous video for Wild Hearts<\/em>, encapsulating the simple beauty in what at first appears mundane.\u00a0 And due to high demand from fans wanting a piece of the action, Sarah has extended her national Rocky\u2019s Diner tour into November and December, set to swing through Adelaide at Jive on November 5, then moving through Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth, Fremantle, Bunbury, Bulli, and finishing up in Sydney at The Lansdowne on December 16.<\/p>\n

Wild Hearts <\/em>is a fine example of Sarah\u2019s storytelling abilities; those that hooked so many from the very beginning of her career.\u00a0 The simplicity of this track, and the narrative that drives it, is where the beauty lies here; a lone voice accompanied by understated guitar slowly swells into a full rock-band arrangement and just as quickly recedes again.\u00a0 Sarah paints a picture for the audience, and with just a few choice words she develops a character with a depth that demands multiple listens.\u00a0 She explains, \u201cI wanted a lead who could show fulfilment within a scenario that to most would appear to be failure.\u00a0 I was going to start by describing what my character was, but I decided rather to describe what she wasn\u2019t, and let the listener imagine the rest: \u2018<\/em>She\u2019s not 18, living on guts and coca cola, she\u2019s never been on train, or felt the ocean\u2019s salty water.\u2019\u00a0 I was imagining a woman around my own age, not oblivious to the world around her but not an active participant either.\u00a0 She\u2019s not flighty, she\u2019s a thinker. \u00a0She has a repetitive life and she enjoys the routine, and she would find fulfilment through creating stories about fictitious characters doing fictitious things.\u00a0 This writing was her release and it made her happy and noone in the world could touch that.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The video documents seemingly routine moments in time, like passing buskers in the street – but rather than rush by them, like you might if you were on your way to work or similar responsibilities, the clip allows you to stay a while.\u00a0 With the help of Tribal Apes<\/em> (Jessica Mauboy, Tina Arena, Havana Brown), Sarah has created a little time capsule of a creative moment in her life, alongside her canine companion Chachi, and invites the audience to share it with her, as Sarah says, \u201cThe clip is basically about depicting the beauty in what appears to be the mundane. \u00a0Observing people in the street connecting with each other, finding joy in simplicity, all through the eyes of me and my best friend, my dog Chachi\u2026<\/em>and now I’ve got a little movie of me and Chach to watch when we’re older!\u00a0 That clip will make me smile forever.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
