Daniel Trakell’s Top 4 Favourite songs released by Melbourne artists in 2023

Didirri - Begin Again

Just a beautiful, slow building song. I love the production and arrangements, the electric guitar sound and the bass clarinet.

Angie McMahon - Letting Go

Another amazing song by Angie, I especially love the lyrics, and the mantra-like refrain at the end of “It’s okay, it’s okay, Make mistakes, make mistakes” really resonates with me.

Hannah Cameron - Take The Blame

Such a hypnotic song.  The rhythm of the baritone guitar is mesmerizing and Hannah’s vocals and harmonies are beautiful. I love all the subtle parts and instrumentation throughout the song,

building to a crescendo then backing off again. The whole thing is just perfect.

David M Western - You Remind Me Of A Friend

Dave is such a great lyricist and I love the way he delivers his vocals. I love the 60s folk kind of fingerpicking on this one and the understated drums.
