Allipha manages to combine a rocking chorus the likes of Aerosmith would crave with a folksy, pop verse in new single Freak Inside. It's a little bit Cardigans and a little bit Queens of The Stoneage. The rock is cut beautfully with the tender lyrics that give you a sense of a deeper issue bottled up within the songwriter.

As such the gig tips below are a collection of beautiful songwriters who Allipha has connected with on an emotional level.

Check it out!

Matt Corby - Friday 12th April- Margaret Court Arena

Matt Corby is one of the most brilliant songwriters there is, would be an epic show for sure. My gorgeous friend Eliott is touring with him also and her voice is absolutely out of this world. Will be an overwhelming night to say the least.

Allen Stone - Sunday April 14th- Corner Hotel

Allen Stone is one of my songwriting inspirations! He has so much soul in his voice, and groove in his songs.

Laurel Wednesday 22nd May- Corner Hotel

Laurel has very recently caught my ears and I love her voice and style. I think she’s done really well with her artistry and staying authentic. Just a cool bad ass babe.

Methyl Ethyl - June 20th/21st- The Forum

Such unique personalities, they just don’t care about convention in their songs and I admire it so much! I’ve covered Ubu with my band before and it was harder than we anticipated.

Nina Nesbitt - Wednesday 29th May- 170 Russell

A Scottish lass with some killer songs. She’s super pop, but I love the vulnerability she has in her songwriting. I’m expecting she’ll bare it all live.
