Watch Rowena Wise's Video For New Single 'Unlearning Of Love'

An oceanic reflection on "shapeless, deep, evolving, unassuming connections", Rowena Wise's 'Unlearning Of Love' is the final song revealed before the Australian songwriter's second album Bad Things Feel Good* launches this Friday. Moving from guitar-strum balladry to drilling shoegazey intensity, Wise's new single is like a love song deconstructed, accompanied by poetic and playful, semi-abstract imagery and shadowplay directed by Didirri Wise. Shortlisted for the 2024 Australian Music Prize for her debut album Senseless Acts of Beauty, experience 'Unlearning Of Love' and look forward to Wise's debut tour of Aotearoa New Zealand this September...

"Non-monogamy was part of the context in which I wrote this song. I was experiencing the confusion of loving multiple people at once, but more than that, I was wondering what a new connection could become when there were fewer assumptions or expectations around it. There was a real tension in not knowing where friendship ended and romance began, or whether it needed to become either. That openness could feel scary and obscure, but it was also exciting, meaningful and incredibly expansive. Getting to know people in that more open way taught me as much about myself as it did about others - how differently people love, communicate, attach and move through the world."
