MOVING TO THE CITY

AHEAD OF DEBUT SELF-TITLED ALBUM – OUT NOVEMBER 29

November 27, 2019

Queensland-based singer songwriter Bobby Maguire has today announced his new single Moving to the City, a sweet song written to inspire self-confidence in the young artist before a big life change, out now. 

The song is also accompanied by a charming clip, and reflects a hilarious, whimsical journey from the country to the city.  Moving to the City is the first taste of Bobby Maguire’s debut self-titled album, set for release on November 29. 

To celebrate the release, Bobby will be playing a very special, intimate hometown album launch show at Elixir Bar in Cairns on November 29. 

Moving to the City is a poppy, chirpy track, and it’s pretty hard not to smile as the honest, uplifting lyrics play out.  It’s refreshing to allow this acoustic guitar-driven track to wash over and perhaps reminisce about moving from a childhood home to a college dorm or first sharehouse. 

The clip for Moving to the City is delightful in its lofi nature, and a truly funny watch, particularly to anyone who has been a victim to the often-disastrous search for the right rental property. 

Entirely self-made, with the help of good friends and family, the clip has a lovable, quirky edge, and showcases a comedic side to this talented young artist. 

Speaking on the making of the clip, Bobby says, “The video clip is raw and fun, it doesn’t take itself too seriously in order to reflect the sunny, lively feel of the song.  It features me playing multiple characters and was shot with a minimal budget, and the aim of the clip is to connect with the audience on a down-to-earth level, so that they don’t get lost in gloss and feel more connected to the song.”

Bobby Maguire will be celebrating the release of his new single and debut album with an intimate show at Elixir Bar in his hometown of Cairns on November 29.  Giving a taste of what to expect from the exclusive show, Bobby enthuses, “I’m pumped! It has been a long time coming and I can’t wait to showcase these songs with my new band.” As well as performing with the band, Bobby also plays solo acoustic shows featuring live guitar looping and re-compositions of his songs.

Moving to the City is out today, November 5, and the self-titled album is set for release on November 29.
