Melbourne allrounder Kathleen Halloran has revealed her long-awaited debut album, Nobody’s Baby, is set for release on Friday 8 May.

Produced by Roscoe James Irwin (The Cat Empire, The Bamboos, Paul Kelly) and engineered/mixed by Ben Edgar (Gotye, Angus and Julia Stone), the album is 15 years in the making.

Featuring the previously released singles ‘Find Me Again’, ‘Free With Me’ and ‘Cost of Living’, Halloran has shared new track, ‘Wolves Like You’. A powerful rocker about resilience and individuality, the track was co-written with Adelaide-based producer and musician Dustyn Lee Stephensen.

“‘Wolves Like You’ is about the resilience, defiance, and quiet power of women in the music industry,” explains Halloran. “I’ve been playing guitar professionally for 15 years, and for most of that time I rejected the idea of being defined by gender, or even allowing it into the conversation.

“Comments like ‘I’ve never heard a girl play like that’ were often well-meaning, but complicated. Something has shifted for me. I’ve realised people feel compelled to speak up because what they’re witnessing is powerful, and I’m really proud of that.”

The single is accompanied by a music video directed by acclaimed filmmaker WILK (Sarah Blasko, Ella Hooper, Jack Ladder, Gotye, Spiderbait) that showcases a new visual side to Halloran.

“The concept for the video came from director WILK, whose vision shaped the entire aesthetic and feel of the clip,” she says. “Together, we wanted Wolves Like You to feel raw, smoky and unapologetically powerful, a simple, performance-led studio video with a darker edge. Rock-forward with a subtle psychedelic haze, muted primary colours, harsh lighting and layered multiple exposures give it a 70s-leaning, primal urgency. Visually, it’s a deliberate departure from my previous work.”
