Holy Basil Delivers Masterful Tune ‘The Outside’
Holy Basil, a visionary artist from the sun-soaked Gold Coast of Australia, makes a triumphant return with her latest single, “The Outside.” Following the success of her debut track “Over The Edge” in March 2024, which saw her embarking on a whirlwind of performances across America, Holy Basil continues to push musical boundaries with her distinctive genre, “Theatronic.” This term, coined by the artist herself, perfectly encapsulates the unique fusion of electronica, ethereal soundscapes, and the dramatic flair of musical theatre that characterizes her work.
Produced by Alex Kewley of Altitude Music Studio, “The Outside” is a sonic masterpiece that effortlessly blends creative soundscapes with cinematic flair. The track is anchored by a driving bass guitar, while the synths and keyboards dance with innovation, providing a lush bed for Holy Basil’s mesmerizing vocals. The result is a deeply engaging aural tapestry that envelops the listener in a world of emotion and sound.
Drawing inspiration from avant-garde icons like Björk, Kate Bush, Grimes, and David Bowie, Holy Basil crafts music that lingers long after the final note fades. Her ability to transport listeners into a sensory realm is a testament to her artistry and vision. “The Outside” is more than just a song; it’s an experience that resonates on multiple levels.
Holy Basil’s journey as an artist began in 2020 when she self-produced her debut EP from the confines of her bedroom. This passion and raw talent quickly propelled her into the spotlight, culminating in a performance of her sophomore EP at the Home of the Arts (HOTA) on the Gold Coast in 2022. Her music is deeply personal, often serving as a form of therapy, especially during moments of emotional turbulence. “The Outside” is a reflection of this introspective process, with lyrics that echo a longing for a simpler, more innocent time—a desire to escape the chaos of the modern world and retreat to the comfort of childhood memories.
The songwriting for “The Outside” was an organic process, with the melody and lyrics evolving hand in hand. Holy Basil’s ability to tackle life’s biggest questions with relatable vulnerability is one of her greatest strengths as a songwriter. Her music offers solace and a sense of connection, making “The Outside” not just a listening experience, but a journey into the heart of human emotion.
In “The Outside,” Holy Basil has crafted a track that is both innovative and deeply personal, solidifying her place as a rising star in the world of music. This latest release not only showcases her growth as an artist but also cements her status as a true visionary, capable of blending genres and emotions into a cohesive and compelling whole. As Holy Basil continues to evolve, her music remains a beacon of creativity and emotional depth, inviting listeners to join her on a journey through the landscapes of sound and soul.

Ezra Collective Brings London Jazz to The Regent on November 14
London jazz has a Los Angeles date this month. Ezra Collective plays The Regent Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, November 14, bringing one of the most celebrated live acts in modern jazz to a room built for exactly this kind of night.
The five piece, drummer Femi Koleoso, bassist TJ Koleoso, keyboardist Joe Armon-Jones, trumpeter Dylan Jones and saxophonist James Mollison, rose out of London’s young jazz scene and carried it onto the world stage. Their album Where I’m Meant To Be won the Mercury Prize in 2023, and the follow up, Dance, No One’s Watching, turned their sound outward toward the dance floor, folding Afrobeat, calypso, hip hop and grime into the jazz at the center of it.
Live is where the band’s reputation was made. An Ezra Collective show is built like a celebration, long improvisations, heavy grooves and a crowd that moves, which makes the Regent’s open floor the right setting for the Los Angeles stop.
We Speak Media will have photo coverage from The Regent on November 14.
