ALEX LAHEY CONGRATULATIONS

Tapping into an uncomfortable feeling that will resonate with lots of people, Melbourne singer-songwriter and producer Alex Lahey shares her wry new single 'Congratulations'. Toeing the line between sarcasm and genuine well wishes, the guitar-driven track came about as the result of: "Two of my exes got engaged within an improbably short space of time of one another. What are the odds? Couldn’t not write a song inspired by it." Seizing the opportunity to make an equally excellent video, Lahey explains:“It felt like the perfect time to execute a long standing concept I had of making out with myself on camera...Now both the song and the video feel like a message about choosing yourself over anyone else." Check out 'Congratulations' and its comically narcissistic video here now. -Holly Mullineaux
