Talking with Shelley Harland

When someone claims musical influences as diverse as The Beatles, Bjork, the Motown sound and the Carpenters, you’re assured that their music won’t be anything ordinary. Shelley Harland’s music is indeed extraordinary.

Commuting between Sydney, New York and London, she combines a range of influences to create her own unique sound. She recently joined me on the phone for a radio interview on 98.5 Sonshine FM.

The song in the video, Wonder, is the first single to be lifted from her soon to be released album, Red Leaf.

Shelley has collaborated with a range of artists including John Cale from the very influential Velvet Underground who commissioned her to work on some of his recent releases.
