GLVES Explores Truth and Turmoil on New Single ‘Honesty’ – Ahead of New EP ‘Belonging’

Rising alt-pop powerhouse GLVES has unveiled her latest single, ‘Honesty’, an emotive and high-energy track that blends her signature storytelling with a fresh drum and bass edge. The  new single is a stirring preview of her upcoming debut EP, Belonging, due October 10.

A proud First Nations artist, GLVES is carving a bold space in the Australian pop scene with her textured electronic sound and raw, introspective lyrics. ‘Honesty’ showcases a stripped-back intro that quickly escalates into a dancefloor-ready beat, delivering both sonic impact and emotional depth. The track explores the discomfort of being stuck in a stagnant relationship and the liberation that comes from speaking hard truths.

“It’s about being stuck in a relationship you can’t disconnect from, yet can’t move forward in either. At some point, you just have to be honest with them, no more holding back, no more pretending. It’s a raw, vulnerable moment where truth-telling is the only way forward.” GLVES.

The single arrives just in time for her highly anticipated showcase at BIGSOUND 2025, where she’s set to bring her acclaimed, multi-sensory live performance to Brisbane audiences. Known for past appearances at festivals like Splendour in the Grass, Dark Mofo, and Blak Day Out, GLVES continues to prove she’s one of the country’s most compelling new voices.

Belonging is now available for vinyl pre-order HERE and digital pre-save HERE.
