LISTEN: Evie Irie release new single ‘Worst Enemy’

Amassing over 10 million streams to date, seventeen-year-old Sydney-born singer/songwriter Evie Irie releases her new single “Worst Enemy”. Produced by GRAMMY® Award winning producer Greg Kurstin (Adele, Sia), “Worst Enemy” sets the stage for her forthcoming new EP, set to arrive in Autumn 2020.

About the song, Evie said, “Worst Enemy” is about our inner demons. It’s about admitting to the times we sabotage ourselves, and the brutal things we put ourselves through. It’s about feeling like sometimes you are so lost, that you actually think you’re found. It’s a really hard reality when I realize I’m in that place – overwhelmed with the struggle of all of my inner demons. That’s the core of “Worst Enemy”. The self-sabotage, the constant drive to be better, and to be good enough. It’s an endless and inevitable cycle, that I think we all experience at a point in our lives, in one way or another.”

Evie made her stage debut just last year, opening for Sigrid in the UK.  Most recently she joined Bastille on tour in January, opening for the band across Australia.

Introducing herself in 2019, Evie’s 5 Weeks in L.A. gathered over 5 million streams and counting in just a few months’ time. Hailing from just outside Sydney, Australia, Evie Irie is quietly emerging as something of an alternative soul-pop wunderkind at just 17-years-old. Grabbing a guitar, she penned fully realized pop anthems rooted in the experiences of her sisters and their friends. With her family supporting, she moved to Nashville and attracted the attention of top songwriters and tastemakers at open mics and performances. As the title reflects, she wrote and recorded 5 Weeks In LA over a 5 week trip to Los Angeles that also landed her a record deal with Republic Records.
