Gretta Ray - Begin To Look Around (2021)

Begin To Look Around is the debut album of Melbourne singer-songwriter Gretta Ray. A wonderous and empowering coming of age record, Begin To Look Around chronicles the journey of a young artist navigating the winding lanes of womanhood, romance, heartbreak, travel and friendship "This record is a documentation and celebration of the lessons I have learned about love, life and my unremitting passion for music as I've stepped into my early twenties. It is beautiful how much you change your mind throughout those formative years; things can always be seen from a different perspective, and when you're immersed in incredible opportunities that see you travelling the world, falling in and out of love, and losing your sense of independence only for it to return stronger than ever before, it is only natural that your view of yourself and the world will be refined when you wake up, and begin to look around." Says Gretta of her debut collection. Begin To Look Around boasts an A-list team of creatives working together to bring Gretta's Duologies to life. Primarily produced by Robby De Sa (MAY-A, The Veronicas), Dylan Nash (Dean Lewis, Fergus James, Azure Ryder), Kyran Daniel (G-Flip) and mixed by Dan Grech-Marguerat (Halsey, Lana Del Ray, Troye Sivan) and Rich Cooper (Banks, The Temper Trap), the album will feature a series of Duologies: two songs joined in theme but creatively distinct; written from differing perspectives, released as a pair.
