Bree Rusev, a 19-year-old singer-songwriter from Australia, is definitely one for folk and soft indie fans to watch. Since placing first in the teen category of the International Songwriting Competition in 2021, she has only grown in confidence.

Bree’s latest release, Dotted Lines, is a stunning song filled with warmth and joy. Enveloping acoustic guitar and a simple drum beat welcome listeners to an uplifting track. It is fairly stripped back; acoustic guitar and Bree’s own lyrical, calming voice are the main event. She combines them with extra layers of vocals and keys to make a wonderfully honest, chilled-out, comforting tune. Dotted Lines will brighten up your grey, rainy January in no time.
