A Sunrise Beach singer, electronic producer and multi-instrumentalist is set to release her latest single, taking listeners through a journey of the “sacred feminine“.
Lulu Madill, known as artist Syren, will release her new track ’Sacred Body’ on Friday 19 March at the Coolum Civic Centre Show as well as on all online platforms.
Syren said ’Sacred Body’ was more than a song, but a movement.
“It’s pretty exciting,“ she said.
“I wrote the track last October in just 12 hours when I was going through a pretty rough time living down in Byron Bay.
“It’s a healing song that really got me through that time of separating with my partner and I sold my home and moved back home to Noosa.
“We filmed the video clip in Kenilworth and that’s a really special vision that I had. It’s three women of three different nationalities coming together and meeting at a sacred waterhole.
“I grew up riding horses in Kenilworth, so I needed to film this symbolic video clip here on the Sunshine Coast.
“I think it’s a really special time, especially today being International Women’s Day.“
Lulu was born in Gympie and fell in love with music from the beginning of her life as her parents Gayle and John Madill were a part of birthing the Gympie Country Music Muster.
She was surrounded by music from age one, at age seven playing the violin then progressed to the classical piano.
In 2004 Lulu enrolled at S.A.E School Of Audio Engineering Melbourne where she did six months of the Audio Engineering Course before she began the planning and building of her own recording studio Preston Melbourne 2006.
At Buttons Touching Studio’s, she recorded over 25 artists from Pop, Hip Hop and Rock music.
In 2008 Lulu traveled to the Northern Territory to work on music projects in remote Aboriginal communities for seven years.
“I was living in Melbourne at the time, I was running my recording studio and I had an awakening one day and I realised that I had no real connection to the Indigenous people of Australia,“ Syren said.
“I got this amazing gig as a sound engineer on tour going through Arnhem Land.
“We would go to remote communities and do workshops during the day and concerts during the night and work with the Indigenous community to record their music.
“The work I was doing was to preserve the languages in remote Aboriginal communities in creative ways. It was just incredible and very life changing.“
Her sound is a melting pot of Earthy, Trip Hop ’n’ Trap through to Conscious Electronica mixed with Ancient Tribal Bass Music.
Syren’s new live show Sacred Body brings the mystical experience of her music to life with her raw and powerful vocals as she performs with her original beats and majestic Harpist Hayley with live strings.
