In just under nine months Stan Walker has achieved the near impossible; the nineteen year-old singer has evolved from a mere contender, into one of the most refreshing and shining examples of talent the Australian music industry has to offer. Stan’s undeniable vocal-gift and engaging boy-next-door charm have already resulted in him successfully releasing a couple of top selling singles (the double Platinum “Black Box” and Gold “Unbroken”) and a platinum-selling album (“Introducing Stan Walker”). Along the way his confidence has blossomed, he’s found his way to navigate through the industry with his expanding experience and his quest to speak the truth via his music. His new album “From The Inside Out” puts the past behind him, and reveals the true artistry of Stan Walker, away from the quick-turnaround recordings and the media fanfare. Taking his time to create a collection of personal, honest, and soulful songs, this new album showcases Stan’s ability to party and have fun, whilst the same time also allowing him to flip the script, and strip his soul bare to reveal himself from the inside out.
“I think people are curious to hear what this new album will sound like, especially those that bought my first album, which was basically a covers album that we got out there immediately,” he says with his trademark frankness. “This time around, we’ve taken our time to craft some songs that are very personal to me, and I think audiences will hear that deeper connection, and begin to find out more about who I am as an artist.
“With the lyrics, I wanted people to get a glimpse inside my world and really feel what I’m feeling. There are songs on the album that are really deep and show things that you can’t usually see just by looking at me. By revealing the truths within my heart, I’m sure that the bond between my audience and myself will become even stronger.”
The thirteen songs featured on “From The Inside Out” are a spirited and uplifting collection of songs that Stan feels profoundly attached to. “These songs are mine – they speak my truth,” he says proudly. “These days there are a lot of manufactured songs with nasty lyrics, but I wanted to make an album of real songs, with real lyrics, about how we all feel sometimes. I wanted to talk about real love, real situations, and songs that people could really connect to and feel like they’re not alone.
“I hate the fantasy of celebrities that some people aspire to become – it’s all fake. I wanna represent people’s inner thoughts, experiences and emotions. I want to connect with people on a deeper level, and leave all that bling-celebrity pimpin’ for other artists to deal with."
