Colette Rivers Shares Single 'Heaven & Earth'

Taupō-raised songwriter Colette Rivers has returned with her first official single since 2021's debut full length album Memory Lake. The soul-powered 'Heaven & Earth' tells a moving tale of a young woman faced with (and overcoming) seemingly insurmountable odds, set against a cinematic backdrop of sweeping, folk-inflected instrumentation. With a bindle full of new songs written in her home studio during Aotearoa's lockdown months, Rivers will be celebrating today's release this Sunday with a performance at Te Whanganui a Tara's MOON1, alongside fellow songwriting talents Sam Fowles and Beans Maries (details HERE) — head along and experience the lushness of 'Heaven & Earth' below...

“I work with a lot of young people and young women and I think this song is inspired by that feeling of both wanting to protect and empower against difficulties. It is also in a way a metaphor about my own set-backs in music – and bloody well going around them.” - Colette Rivers

'Heaven & Earth' is out now on major streaming services.
