Jack River Returns With Synth-Pop Anthem 'Borderline'

Australian artist and advocate Jack River is back with her new single 'Borderline', the first taste of new music from the singer-songwriter in three years.

Following on from the release of her 2023 acclaimed album Endless Summer, during which Jack River (aka Holly Rankin) performed over 20 shows while pregnant with her daughter Maggie in support of its release, 'Borderline' signals a bold new chapter in the artist’s musical journey.

The material River has been writing is inspired by the past three years of her life, exploring her relationships, career trajectory and the impact being a mum has had on her.

'Borderline' is a song about rediscovering your independence and captures the bittersweet feeling of moving on.

"This is a song about travelling beyond the borderline, back to one's self, back to freedom. I wrote this song after one of my first nights alone in three years, overwhelmed with the feeling that my sense of self was returning, and the reckoning that comes with that," explains River.

"It's the beginning of a new era for Jack River - with less rules, less constraints and more independence."
