Taking it all down a notch or three here with a fine new release from Aussie mellow ‘one person band’ Tash Sultana. Sultana has been a frequent visitor to the Triple J top charts in recent years but this is my first helping of their music. Sultana is no slouch when it comes to being candid and honest. Although only a ripe 23 years old, this Aussie has been through the crippling lows of drug abuse and has spoken publicly about the fact, brave soul and someone who can surely be an inspiration to other in that tricky situation.
‘Can’t Buy Happiness’ is a beautifully sung slow ballad that lyrically hits the mark! It begins with Sultana’s subtle voice accompanied by electric strings, gradually progressing into a heart wrenching soul-baring high range vocal exhibition. This song is an absolute belting new one from this mercurial talent. Be sure to check out this one, a real gem of a thing here!!
If you wanna catch this great artist live – you can – Tash Sultana will be London’s Alexandra Palace June 28th.

TASH SULTANA is an explosive live artist who has commanded global attention since homemade videos went viral. Tash was soon selling out major arenas globally and playing at the world’s biggest festivals – no mean feat for an artist who just a year before was recording songs on a go pro in a bedroom. Since Tash’s grandfather gifted a guitar at the age of three, the self-taught artist quickly developed a unique style that has people lining up to see around the world. Tash has mastered over 12 instruments, has a vocal that shine with a magical quality and a live show that needs to be seen to be believed.
The one-person powerhouse started out playing open mic nights on a fake id and busking on the streets of Melbourne, Australia. Recent accolades include over 500M streams, an ARIA award for Blues and Roots Album of The Year with ‘Flow State’, smash single ‘Jungle’ coming in at #3 in triple j’s Hottest 100, achieving platinum sales for the Notion EP and platinum sales for ‘Jungle’, winning the prestigious unearthed j award, numerous gold certified singles and recently playing a stand out set at Coachella & Lollapalooza.
Tash’s album ‘Flow State’ is out now worldwide.
