Gamilaraay artist Thelma Plum today unveiled her heartfelt new single 'Nobody's Baby', a poignant exploration of girlhood, growth, and the complexities of coming of age. The release is accompanied by a captivating music video directed by Studio Antics, set against the picturesque backdrop of an equestrian club.
In 'Nobody's Baby', Plum delves into the emotional intricacies of growing up too quickly, a theme deeply resonating with her personal experiences. "When I was younger, I was kind of forced to grow up fairly quickly and it impacted me in ways I'm only discovering now that I am an actual adult," Thelma shares. "I was always wanting to make myself seem older and more mature, and always trying to prove myself. I feel sad for the younger me but I am also proud of her."
The song's gentle guitar strums and soft percussion create a nostalgic atmosphere, while Plum's delicate vocals weave a story of vulnerability and resilience. Her lyrics capture the bittersweet feeling of yearning for lost innocence while embracing the strength that comes with maturity. "Nobody's Baby" is a raw and honest reflection on the challenges and triumphs of growing up, leaving listeners with a sense of empathy and understanding.
The accompanying music video, with its vintage-inspired aesthetic, perfectly complements the song's evocative mood. Thelma, styled in Kourh, Marta Design and Nicol & Ford, with jewellery by Immortale, exudes an effortless elegance as she navigates the equestrian setting. The visuals, rich in symbolism and subtle details, enhance the emotional depth of the song, creating a cinematic experience that lingers long after the music fades.
'Nobody's Baby' follows Thelma's 2023 release 'We Don't Talk About It' and marks her first new music since the critically acclaimed 'MEANJIN' EP. With a string of accolades, including 9 x ARIA Nominations and 3 x ARIA platinum-certified singles, Thelma Plum continues to solidify her position as a leading voice in Australian music. As she prepares to release more new music later this year, 'Nobody's Baby' signals an exciting new chapter in her already illustrious career.
