PNAU COLLAB WITH MEXICAN ROCK BAND ‘THE WARNING’ FOR NEW SINGLE ‘TU CORAZÓN (YOUR HEART)’, ALONGSIDE 12-DATE REGIONAL AUS TOUR ANNOUNCE

Dance legends PNAU are known for collaborating with both emerging artists (Budjerah, Djanaba) and globally renowned artists (Elton John, Dua Lipa, Coldplay, Khalid), and today they unveil their latest surprise collab, teaming up with all-sister Mexican rock band The Warning for their joyful new single Tu Corazón (Your Heart). The release comes ahead of PNAU announcing a 12-date regional tour along the East Coast of Australia, as well as playing Mexico for the very first time.

Bringing world class production to regional Australia in June and July, PNAU will kick off their Nirvana tour run in Cairns before moving through Townsville, Airlie Beach, Rockhampton, Bundaberg, Toowoomba, Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, Shoal Bay, Newcastle, and finishing up in Gosford.

Tickets go on sale from 9:00am AEST, Friday 17 April from www.pnau.tv.

Hyped to be taking the tour to regional pockets of Australia with a part 2 regional run set to follow, Nick Littlemore enthused, “Pnau is hitting the road this winter. We are hitting every outhouse, doghouse, hip house and acid house on our first ever regional lyfe tour this June. A true winter warmer. We look forward to seeing all you raving jellybeans out there.”

PNAU first came across The Warning while shooting a video for Empire of the Sun in Mexico over a decade ago, when The Warning were aspiring musicians hoping to make their way in the heavy rock scene as an all-sister band. Incredibly, the three sisters, Daniela, Paulina and Alejandra were only 14, 12 and nine when they uploaded a cover of Metallica’s Enter Sandman to YouTube, going viral with their rock attitude and skilful playing and vocals. The meeting of PNAU and The Warning led to a recording session in PNAU’s studio in downtown Los Angeles not long after. The song, Tu Corazón (Your Heart), has now risen to the surface. Tu Corazón is a song about opening your heart to the beauty around you, an important message for people everywhere in an ever-changing world.

The inversions of Tu Corazón (Your Heart) were brought to life visually, with PNAU returning to the old town of Monterrey to create a music video with the people of Mexico – celebrating the Latin culture and vibrance, passion and love the country is known for. Directed by Alberto ‘AJ’ Gomez, the music video involved a cast and crew of 40 locals, bringing the passion and energy of the song to life. Watch the official music video here.

Tu Corazón (Your Heart) follows on from PNAU’s recent collab with Grammy-nominated Italian trio MEDUZA, Rollin, Light Me Up with Kungs, and a run of high-profile remixes for global icons including Coldplay, Parcels, Tame Impala, Diana Ross and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. PNAU’s 2024 album Hyperbolic featured an A-list lineup of collaborators such as Khalid, Troye Sivan, Bebe Rexha, and Empire of the Sun. Born out of Sydney’s rave scene with homegrown classics such as Embrace, Chameleon, and Go Bang now part of Australian music lore, PNAU catapulted to global prominence in 2021 with Cold Heart alongside Elton John and Dua Lipa, a record that amassed billions of streams, multiple awards, and propelled the duo to stratospheric new heights.

Tu Corazón (Your Heart) is out now.

Tickets to the Nirvana regional tour are on sale from 9:00am AEST, Friday 17 April via www.pnau.tv.

MAXON RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM ‘TALKING WITH STRANGERS’ OUT TODAY

Melbourne singer-songwriter Maxon today releases her long-awaited debut album Talking With Strangers a deeply personal, open-hearted collection that cements her as one of the city’s most compelling new voices, and sets the stage for a special hometown celebration at The Toff.

Threading together singles Little Blue, Tangerine Dream and 18, the album unfolds as her “loudest love letter so far” traversing heartbreak, healing, longing and radical honesty. Across its runtime, Maxon leans into her signature blend of Americana, ’70s folk-rock and modern pop, crafting songs that feel both intimate and expansive, anchored by her luminous vocals and an instinct for emotional storytelling that lingers long after first listen.

The album’s focus track Stranger captures the heart of the record, a stirring, soul-baring moment that leans into vulnerability and connection, embodying the themes of openness and self-discovery that run throughout the album. It’s a track that feels both deeply introspective and quietly anthemic, showcasing Maxon’s ability to turn personal reflection into something universally resonant.

Meanwhile, most recent single Little Blue stands as one of the album’s most tender moments. Written for her younger brother, the track unfolds with a gentle, pop-folk warmth, luminous vocals set against a sparse, glowing backdrop, swelling into a heartfelt meditation on family, distance and the unspoken ways we care for one another. It’s intimate, comforting and deeply human, offering a soft place to land within the album’s emotional arc.

Created alongside a close-knit circle of collaborators, the album captures the magic of shared experience, from delicate, lived-in instrumentation to moments of collective energy, reinforcing Maxon’s belief in music as a space for healing and belonging. It’s a philosophy that extends beyond the studio, with Maxon widely recognised as a festival favourite, a proud LGBTQIA+ artist and a passionate supporter of women’s communities, bringing that same sense of inclusivity and connection into her live shows.

And it’s on stage where these songs are set to take on new life. To celebrate the release, Maxon will bring Talking With Strangers to The Toff for a special Melbourne album launch, performing with a full six-piece band and inviting audiences into the record’s world of rich harmonies, emotional depth and shared joy. With more intimate shows already turning heads across Victoria in the lead-up, the Toff show promises to be a full-circle moment, a chance to experience the album as it was intended: together.

With Talking With Strangers out today, Maxon delivers a debut that feels both deeply personal and universally felt, an album that invites listeners in, holds them close, and reminds us of the quiet power in being seen, heard and connected.
