new single
Emerging country music sensation Josie drops her latest single, ‘Life on the Flip Side’. This heartfelt mid-tempo serves as a follow-up to her popular song ‘Freight Man’, and it dives deeper into her life on the road, capturing the unique and resilient lifestyle of rural Australia.
Inspired by Josie's often used catchphrase, "catch ya on the flip side", the song narrates her experiences growing up in the cab of her dad's Western Star road train. “It’s telling the story of my life on the road from a different angle to Freight Man, touching on the fact it wasn’t exactly something kids in the school yard thought was cool right away”, admits the singer-songwriter. “Having been into many different stations and remote places across the travels in the truck, it truly opened my eyes to their lifestyle, the work that went into living that life, and how tough it really can be out there.”
"You can feel the connection to rural Australia in every note
of her tunes, shaped by the vast landscapes she called home."
