Tia Gostelow has comfortably shifted between styles with each phase of her career, all while conveying a continuous sense of emotional honesty. The Luma Luma singer-songwriter won Folk Song of the Year at the Queensland Music Awards for her 2016 single “Vague Utopia” before pivoting into reverbed indie pop for “Strangers,” a platinum-selling 2018 duet with LANKS. By 2020, she was exploring purring synths and disco nostalgia with breakout tracks like “Rush” and the Holy Holy teamup “Always.” Gostelow has only grown more grounded and confident as a performer along the way, as heard on her slow and luxurious version of Father John Misty’s “Real Love Baby” and the classic guitar-pop vibes of “Moving in Circles,” both from 2024. She even fits in perfectly with the First Nations rap group 3% on 2024’s “Sleezy Steezy Cool,” nailing the unruffled vocal hook. Few young artists can handle variety so reliably.
