Now this lovely young lady is one of those talented new comers, which is destined for stardom and really doesn’t need a long introduction. Phebe Starr is a talented synth pop songstress from Sydney, Australia. Since she’s uploaded her single ‘Alone With You’ on the Triple J Unearthed website, a platform from popular Australian radio channel Triple J which allows independent young Australian talent to upload their tracks, she’s been turning heads and wowing over crowds. Not to mention the fact that the official video for her new single, reached over a thousand views in less than two days, surely means something.

It’s quirky, synth pop and those oh so silky vocals of Phebe are simply never to be forgotten. What a debut!

Good news for the fans who like synth pop because Phebe has released the track worldwide which means it can be purchased through Itunes. After Sia and Gotye, could Phebe Starr be the next big Australian music export product? We think she can!

Their impressive live performances across the UK and Europe summer festival circuit have been highly praised by many festival goers, appreciating their mix of electronic beats smoothly laced with a signature soulful vocal.

They are now hoping to redo their success with the follow up single ‘Into The Night’, which is also taken from their sophomore debut album. The track, which is released on July 16 through Lip Records is another brilliant mixture of velvety synths over a melodic melting bass line in combination with the soulful vocals of Starving Yet Full.

The single bundle will also have several remixes featured, including one done by fellow Canadian producer, CFCF aka Michael Silver. The original iconic bass and synth dance track, has been treated to a brand new mix of melodic guitars and rythmic hand drums, creating an amazing electric disco vibe, making ‘Into the Night’ the perfect track to introduce or succeed Lionel Ritchie’s ‘All Night long’ at your Saturday night Party.
