New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Already well established as one of Australia's premier pop successes, Amy Shark is set to make 2024 her biggest year yet. Kicking off the year with her brand-new release "Beautiful Eyes" - out now via Wonderlick/Sony Music Australia/RCA Records.
Described by Amy as her "favourite song she's ever written", 'Beautiful Eyes' was written by Amy while she was on the road in 2022 for her 42-date regional tour. Speaking about the song, Amy explains it as "a pure stream of consciousness. I wrote it when I was on tour, and I had a lot of time alone to think about the past and the future and my life and all the people in it.''
The cinematic sun-drenched official video was filmed by Hype Republic over 2 days near Byron Bay in Northern NSW, Australia.
"Beautiful Eyes" marks the beginning of a huge 2024 for Shark, who is gearing up to return to our TV screens for her judging role on the highly anticipated return of Australian Idol in January 2024. Shark took home the prestigious Australian Award, Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent at the 2023 Logie Awards, inducting her into the illustrious club of Australians who have taken home both an ARIA Award and Logie Award.
After bursting onto the global music scene in 2016, Amy Shark's 7x Platinum single "Adore" put her on the map as one of Australia's most formidable songwriters. This was followed by APRA award winning (Song Of The Year) 7x Platinum and number one Australian airplay chart hit, "I Said Hi" and the 2019 4x Platinum single "Mess Her Up."
Shark's debut/breakthrough #1 ARIA album and Platinum-certified LOVE MONSTER was recognised in 2018 with four ARIA awards (Album of the Year, Best Female Artist, Best Pop Release, Best Producer [Dann Hume]) and was nominated for another five.
