Melbourne's BATTS has dropped a new single, 'Blue', featuring Sharon Van Etten

Melbourne's BATTS - aka Tanya Batt - has dropped a new single, 'Blue', featuring Sharon Van Etten.

BATTS' first new material of 2022, it follows up on last year's single 'Everything Is Free'.

Batt explains: "It's a huge honour to write and create with Sharon - someone who has carved such a powerful path in this industry and remains so kind and humble, a truly special human. I started writing 'Blue' when I was staying with my Mother-in-Law and watching a lot of Antiques Roadshow."

Van Etten adds: "I got to meet Tanya before I ever got to see her perform live, and she was a bright huge light who wanted to let everyone in and it only let her light shine even more. When I actually got to hear her sing, I was taken to another time, another place that she coloured for me. Helping me step out of myself and feel another soul’s journey. I felt quite grounded and comforted in her essence and all who surrounded her. So it felt quite natural to want to feel included in this group hug that I could tell she was nurturing with everyone around her."
