VIXENS OF FALL
HUSH HUSH BIZ SINGLE REVIEW
Wild River
The Australian trio Vixens of Fall, comprising Nina, Wren, and LuLu, continues to assert their musical presence with their latest release, Wild River. This collaboration with Max Jackson delves into the nuanced transition from the innocence of childhood to the complexity of adulthood. Wild River is a poignant exploration of youthful dreams and aspirations, juxtaposed with the realization that maturity often dims life’s vibrant hues. Vixens of Fall have already made significant waves in the music industry. Their debut album, Magick in the Chaos, has garnered over 1.5 million streams, ascended to the top of the iTunes country chart, and secured a commendable #11 spot on the all-genres chart. Their accolades include being twice crowned the ICMAA Most Popular Independent Country Band and gracing the main stages of premier Australian country festivals such as The Gympie Music Muster and Groundwater Country Music Festival. A sold-out performance at the Tamworth Country Music Festival further solidified their status as a top-tier act.
Wild River marks the trio’s ambitious entry into the USA market, following a series of successful singles and a debut album. The track weaves together elements of traditional and contemporary country, featuring lush vocal harmonies, soulful guitar and banjo arrangements, and a robust full-band sound. The song builds dynamically, culminating in a powerful chorus that resonates with emotional depth. The band encapsulates their intention with the track, stating, ‘In this poetic song, we tried to capture the experience you have growing up – being little and innocent to getting older and learning how to work for your dreams.’ The group’s track record is impressive. They were finalists for the QMusic Country Song of the Year for The Long Game and have dominated the AMRAP charts with Prove You Wrong. Their singles have consistently reached the Top 5 on the national CountryTown Hot 50 chart and the KIX Country Hottest 20 chart, receiving full rotation on ABC Country, iHeart Country Australia, and MMM Country. Their hit If You Don’t Want My Love was spotlighted on CMT USA’s AUSWEEK special. Wild River is an evocative narrative that invites listeners to reflect on their own journeys from innocence to adulthood.
