Danielle Lamb, an independent Australian songwriter known for her powerful yet fragile voice, has released her latest single, “Shine,” on August 3, 2023.
This track is more than just a melody; it is a statement of positivity and hope, crafted with sparkling clean, synth-pop production by Andy Mak, who’s worked with renowned artists like Vera Blue and Tina Arena. Danielle’s signature vocal layering combines with 90’s inspired melodies to create a pure pop delight.
The song “Shine” is unique in its background, having been written by Danielle a decade ago. It came to her after realizing that an ending she initially dreaded was actually a beginning, leading her back to herself. Grateful for this realization, the song carries a message to find the silver lining in life’s challenges.
Danielle’s music often reflects experienced emotions and self-discovery, frequently making references to nature and the ocean. Her musical journey has been marked by collaboration and experimentation, especially in the realm of EuroPop.
One of her noted collaborations was with Swiss artist Linda Elys, a finalist in The Voice Germany. This collaboration secured a spot in the top 5 for Switzerland’s Eurovision song selection in 2023. Her singles have been recognized and shortlisted in multiple Eurovision contests, further testifying her skills as a songwriter.
Besides her solo works, Danielle has also co-written tracks like “Hollywood” by PENELOPE (The Voice 2021), and her collaboration with Arlo Sim (The Voice 2021) was selected as a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) 2023. Her unreleased track “Whistle Song” and other works have also reached the semi-finalist stage in the ISC.
Danielle’s music exhibits a blend of eclectic and reflective tones. Drawing melodic and lyrical influences from artists like Stevie Wonder, Gershwin, and Sia, she explores themes of self-discovery and emotional experiences.
She’s not confined to the studio either, having performed in iconic Sydney venues including the Sydney Opera House and engaging in international tours.
From a young age, Danielle displayed remarkable talent, performing at the prestigious Monterey Jazz Festival in the USA at just 15.
