Annie Hamilton is one of the most exciting young musicians in Australia, capable of crafting bangers about heartbreak and upset. So, when you combine a singer-songwriter with that much skill and a chart-topping masterpiece about cutting hair, you’re inevitably going to get greatness.

And that’s exactly what happened when Hamilton appeared on this week’s Like A Version over on triple j, lending her sophisticated talents to ‘Ubu’ by Methyl Ethel.

Truly music this emotional and honest is exactly what we need right now. Thanks, Annie Hamilton.
