It's difficult to find a musician that has been such a brilliant get-go from the start quite like Tyne-James Organ has. After an early debut in 2016, the now-Melbourne-based musician really burst out of the gates with his debut EP Persevere last year, recapping a previous 18 months of brilliant singles that packaged together, showcase his intimate and potent songwriting in an expert way. It was a deeply personal release, diving into the depths of family and the world around him through cathartic bursts of release that positions him as a favourite amongst the next generation - something that's only grown over time.
Amongst an early start of the year full of touring (both as a solo musician and as a member of Mallrat's live show), he's doubled down on his comforting and vulnerable work with two more singles this year - Hold Me Back and Not Ready For Love. The first of the two tracks was a brilliant pick up from where the debut EP finished, but his latest single - the latter of the two tracks - has blossomed into a newfound favourite, one that feels synonymous with his craft and the peaks its beginning to form so early on in his career.
Not Ready For Love reflects on a journey for self-acceptance and confidence in a way that makes you feel like he emerged the other side victorious, following this exploration through a contrasting sound that reflects the hard process of self-love. At times, the single moves in a way that wallows in its down-temponess, moving with an almost ballad-like pace that in the song's most climactic moments, suddenly shift to a celebration - a dance for joy, whether that's because you've worked it all out, or whether you simply just want a moment of happiness amongst everything going on.
"Not Ready For Love is another boppy sop from me but this time I tried exploring it in more of a way of accepting and understanding," he says on the track. "Keeping the energy up to show hope. I find myself being able to dance and cry at the same time to this one. Love is a never ending cycle we live over and over, so part of me wanted to share the irony in that."
The single arrives with an official video that takes Tyne-James Organ away from the city, shot in Australia's deserted outback for a video directed by Simon Morehead. It's an accompanying visual that matches that journey and dives even further into the single's themes, as Tyne attempts to find solace - with himself and with the world - amongst sand-stricken surroundings. "“The clip sees me head out west on a journey into unfamiliar places," he says on the video clip.
"Whilst you’ll see some moments of reflection, I wanted to show a heap more of my personality in this one. A big part of that comes from my dancing. Other than my lyrics, my moves are the only way I can express myself in full. I wanted to take a fun and joyful approach to these situations we all find ourselves in, to show how I try to look at things, and also that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We may enter that tunnel again, but there’s always a light."
Now, we're taking you behind-the-scenes of the video's creation, with Tyne-James Organ selecting a few choice shots from the video's creation that he's talked about - giving us insight into the thinking and processes behind the clip.
