FLYING OUT'S #6 ALBUM OF 2024:
Arriving seven years after her acclaimed debut Morningside, one of NZ’s most beloved artists, Fazerdaze solidifies her place on the international stage with Soft Power. This "bedroom stadium" record combines DIY indie grit with pop’s melodic power and marks the beginning of a new chapter from one of Aotearoa’s best. Soft Power proves that Fazerdaze is showing no sign of slowing down. Dream-tastic.
New Zealand artist and producer Fazerdaze (Amelia Murray) explores the complexities of womanhood on her transformational sophomore album, Soft Power.
Across 11 self-dubbed “bedroom stadium” tracks, Amelia melds dreamy synths and electronic beats with rock band elements, creating a sound that balances gritty authenticity and refined pop brilliance. Soft Power was recorded and produced by Amelia herself and explores themes of devotion, fierce self-compassion, and matured self-awareness.
Soft Power follows Fazerdaze's 2017 cult classic debut Morningside and 2022 Break! EP, which were praised by outlets including Pitchfork, MOJO, The Guardian, and more.
