Andrew Swift has gone from strength to strength since making his dive into the Australian country music scene. In 2017, he was a Toyota Starmaker Grand-Finalist; going on to release his album, ‘Call Out for the Cavalry’, which hit the #1 spot on the ARIA Australian Country Album Chart and win at the 2019 Golden Guitar Awards for Qantas New Talent of the Year & for Alt Country Album of the Year. In 2021, Andrew would go on to co-host the Golden Guitar Awards.
In 2020, Andrew signed with ABC Music and released the first single from his forthcoming new album. Never Meant To Break Your Heart, the single, went onto secure Andrew’s highest National Country Airplay chart to date – peaking at #4.
His 2nd single release, Right On Down, also climbed the charts peaking at #9 on the National Country Airplay Charts. His latest single, Head Full of Honey, also landed in the Top 10; reaching #7 on the National Airplay Chart.
Now Andrew drops a new track, Say The Word featuring Cass Hopetoun, giving fans another taste from his forthcoming album release, ‘The Art of Letting Go’ . As Andrew describes the song, “If you’ve ever had a connection with someone and the timing just hasn’t worked out, I’m sure you’ll be able to relate to this song. About halfway through writing Say The Word with Phil Barton, I suggested we make it a duet. I thought that as a duet it would add another level as to why the two characters hadn’t got together yet as they’re both waiting on the other to make the first move. I already had Cass Hopetoun in mind to approach about a collaboration at some stage, I’m glad I pitched this one to her, she sounds amazing on it and I couldn’t be happier.
