RnB Superstar Budjerah is kicking off 2023 with the release of his new dynamic single titled 'Therapy', ahead of supporting Ed Sheeran on his massive Australian Stadium Tour in February.

The Codjinburra Aria-award winning artist released the single on Friday noting it's an ode to the importance of therapy and open communication in relationships.

With a guitar led production and a punchy pop-soul delivery, he finds a new bold confidence that still pays homage to his gospel roots.

"When I first heard the demo for Therapy, it hit me at the perfect time," Budjerah said.

"I was going through a few things and the song really nailed how I was feeling at the time,

'Therapy' is about frustration in a relationship - It's the thoughts and feelings that can erupt when you don't understand each other and that can be tough to deal with.

"Therapy can come in many forms, but taking a step back and getting an outside perspective is something that has helped me," Budjerah says of the track.

A booming chorus hits home with these touching lyrics:

Maybe you lost your mind

You've lost your sanity

Cuz you're way too young and way too drunk to be

Saying you need my love

When you just need some therapy.

Oh honestly, need some therapy

Armed with a brand new band featuring family he's grown up jamming with, Budjerah completed his first headline tour last year and impressed at a wide array of festivals including Splendour In The Grass, This That and Beyond The Valley.

He continues to build his live show this year, first as Ed Sheeran's support act. It will be the second time the two have collaborated since last year with his appearance on Sheeran's '2Step' which has seen close to 10 million streams.

Since Budjerah's debut single 'Missing You' just over two years ago, he's grown as an artist being guided by Matt Corby who took him under his wing after being blown away by his abilities.

Matt Corby has produced the majority of tracks by Budjerah and watched him go from a shy teenager to a celebrated artist in his own right.

With two EP's under his belt, 2021's debut self-titled release and 2022's, 'Conversations', the young artist has collaborated with everyone from PNAU on 'Stranger Love' to MAY-A on 'Talk'.
