Rising Western Australian creative Newport is hitting the road this October in support of his latest track, 'Fickle'.

Written, produced and recorded in his bedroom, 'Fickle' explores a fleeting connection with someone that wasn't perfect, but one that you wouldn't change.

Teased on social over the past month, the track amassed over 3 million views and over 500,000 interactions across social media platforms, which is pretty darn impressive.

"'Fickle' felt like a reward from the universe. I'd been stuck, unable to write anything that truly inspired me or resonated with me. So I took time off being creative and did a lot of inner healing, eventually coming to a sense of acceptance about a lot of things in terms of past turbulent relationships, missing my childhood, identity crises," explains Newport.

"Then one day I stumbled into making this song. I was watching YouTube with my guitar plugged into the amp, just playing around with chords, until I landed on something that felt really good. After that, I was in a complete flow state and made most of what you hear today in one sitting."
