Beks – The Thing About Us
She used to be the frontwoman/guitarist of all-girl punk band Rackett, and drummer of Bec & Ben. Now, Sydney’s Rebecca Callander is on a songwriters journey as Beks. Her new single The Thing About Us is a catchy pop tune. It’ll make fans of Kylie Minogue and Dagny beg for more.
The singer explains: “I wrote this with my friends Cam Nacson (Sad Boii) and Tamika Nacson (Xira) during a songwriting session for my mixtape in October 2020. This song encapsulates the feeling of being in love and then out of love with your best friend. Your best friend that you party and wake up hungover with and then realise that you’ve crossed a line of no return, blurred the boundaries and you’re desperate to find a way back. The thing about us is there was never an ‘us’, it was only ever ‘you and I’.”
The mixtape Beks mentioned is a project she’s been working on for the last months. It’ll feature 12 tracks she wrote and produced with people like Jim Eliot (Ladyhawke, E^ST), and Kim Moyes (The Presets). Her debut mixtape is set for release mid-2021.
