She's the deadly high school talent breathing new life into R&B, meet RIAH
This South West Sydney songwriter has a soulful vocal that's gonna blow your mind.... Sydney, NSW Growing up on a diet of Tongan hymns, Italian records, Fijian lullabies, reggae, jazz, country and R&B, RIAH channels all these sounds through a voice that needs to be heard to be believed. Textured yet undeniably smooth, her penchant for big R&B vocal lines has made her an undeniable standout in this years competition. No stranger to the competition, the soulful high-schooler was last year's winner from our parallel competition, the Unearthed High Indigenous Initiative. Loading Coming from Tongan, Fijian, Aboriginal and Italian decent, it's safe to say that RIAH's cultural background and upbringing has shaped the silky R&B records she now makes. Her most recent single 'Motherslove' is an ode to the one who shaped her with family, clearly still front and centre in her life. The matriarch-focused track forms a sort of lullaby under the influence of RIAH's skilful yet soothing vocals, stripped back ever-so slightly too allow her lyrics to shine. She describes her artistry as "a nostalgic realm where soul meets modernity", bringing a fresh approach to the R&B space that's informed by greats of the genre before her, both in her songwriting and her vocal performance. Loading It's voice we projected would propel her into super-stardom in 2024's Indigenous Initiative, and in 2025, RIAH shows no signs of slowing!

Northeast Party House is saying goodbye, but not before one final party
After 15 years and a lot of fun, Northeast Party House is calling it a day -- of course, they're sending it with one a final party, heading across Australia this October and November. "It feels strange but also right to announce that the year of your 15th anniversary will also be our last," the band said in a statement. "When we first started Northeast, it was our dream to create a space where people could enjoy a gig like it was a friend's house party. We had no idea that the house party would last for 15 years." The six-piece from Melbourne first exploded onto the scene after winning triple J's Unearthed High in 2010, with raucous track 'Dust' becoming an anthem for punters across Australia. Since then, the band have kept things sticky with four sure-fire albums, beginning with debut Any Given Weekend and capped off with last year's excellent Enhancer . To say goodbye, the band are heading out on "The Final Party", with shows in Fremantle, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane, before a last hometown show in Melbourne. And to get things started right, they've enlisted BENSON as support, the Australian producer and DJ who has been heating up dancefloors across the globe with his shimmery cuts. "We are hitting the road one last time to cap off an incredible 15 year run to say thank you to everyone who has danced, partied, sang, written to us and contributed," the band says. "Let's go out with a bang. Come party one more time." Tickets are on sale Thursday 7 August, 10am local time for each venue. Find the full dates below, and more info on Northeast Party House's site. Northeast Party House's final party is set to be a big one, with five dates across Australia.
