Pure Pop Artist Salty Releases Debut EP 'The Other Side'

Salty has seriously been turning heads since her return in July with "See U In 3". That song and video was a mix of sensuality, sass and energy that few were prepared for and saw her step over a threshold and step up into the commencement of "Salty's new era".

Her previous singles 'See U in 3', 'iwannafeelbetter', and 'Hollywood Baby' has seen massive support across Nova FM's Maddy Rowe Show, triple j Home & Hosed, HIT Network's The Pulse, and she was featured in this month's issue of Vogue Australia

The highly anticipated apex of that journey is her debut EP 'the other side'. The four different producers that contributed to 'the other side' come from Sydney and LA, yet the EP fits together as its own musical entity. The tracks with Jordan Sherman (One Republic, Aloe Blacc) and Nydge (Bishop Briggs, Snow Wife) originated from Salty's LA writing trips. Sydney's own Oscar Sharah (Sycco, Winston Surfshirt, Mel Blue) and Cyrus Villanueva (GO-JO, MAY-A, Charley, Will Hyde, Oliver Cronin) contribute to three of the five tracks.

Proving that she has the richest visual aesthetic of any current Australian Pop artist is the dance focused new video for "Cut U Off".

The themes of "Cut U Off" again touch on the life lessons learned that run through the EP. "I had recently walked away from a professional relationship and found myself feeling a massive weight off my shoulders" Salty recalls." I think part of getting older is realising you outgrow people and things. Learning how to navigate that can be extremely difficult and you can feel like your world is ending. That's how it felt for me, until I was on the other side, where I felt empowered and confident about my decisions. Realising who you want to be surrounded by is one of the many lessons I have learnt over the past few years."

To Salty this first ever collection of her songs is a musical evocation of a stage of life. "The Other Side" is a musical diary of the last 5 years of my life. It captures the essence of feeling things for the FIRST TIME. Falling in love, dealing with feelings of anxiety, my hatred for drunk men at bars, wanting to move out of home and the ever-changing types of people coming in and out of my life. I describe it as finding myself on the 'other side of my twenties'."

Salty has been gaining international attention lately with two tracks getting spun in August in consecutive weeks on  BBC Radio 1's Future Pop With Ellie King, and an invitation in September to perform at legendary LA new talent showcase We Found New Music which has been one of the first discovery points for artists such as Billie Eilish, Arlo Parks, Dermot Kennedy, Kim Petras, Sam Fender, The 1975, Bishop Briggs, The Marias, Sigrid and many more.

Salty is thrilled to be taking her dynamic live show on the road to launch 'the other side' in February and March. Every show she does has dance at its core, so expect Salty and her dancers to raise rooves wherever they play. 2025 promises to be a busy year for Salty with a stack of songs written during her last writing trip to LA scheduled to be released throughout the year.
