32: Alt. Down Under - WILSN: Latest album, the importance of influences as a teenager and the quiet rise of Melbourne Soul
from Alt Down Under · host Alt. Down Under
Melbourne soul artist WILSN joins Luke for a wide-ranging, free-flowing chat on finding your voice, trusting the long game, and why soul music is quietly having a moment in Australia.WILSN talks through recording her latest album Bloom live to tape with the touring band of soul legend Charles Bradley, and how a decade-long relationship finally came full circle in the studio.The conversation digs into falling in love with music at 13-14, shaped by the voices of Aretha Franklin, Etta James, and later Alicia Keys, alongside discovering what makes a voice yours rather than perfect.They also explore the Melbourne soul scene and the artists driving it, why soul music doesn’t always get mainstream radio love, and why it’s not worth burning energy fighting that fight.Plus, touring stories with The Teskey Brothers, and what’s next as WILSN heads out on the road supporting Jalen Ngonda.Loose, honest, and full of heart – this one goes everywhere (in the best way).
