First Nations singer and proud Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, Kalkadoon and Yirendali woman, Miss Kaninna has released her new single, Push Up.

Available to stream from Friday, Push Up celebrates freedom of sexuality and marks the first time the award-winning artist has put her commanding singing voice on display outside of live shows.

Producer Jacob Farah (Dean Brady, KYE, Adrian Eagle) brings Amapiano and Afrobeats influences to Miss Kaninna's sound - also a reflection of the music she grew up loving.

The new track was inspired by Miss Kaninna's pivotal move in 2022 from Lutruwita (Tasmania) to Naarm, and the feeling of being truly confident in herself and her identity.

Miss Kaninna said she's enjoying meeting new people, feeling good about herself, being free in her sexuality and not being worried about what other people think.

"Push Up is a really good introduction to the range and the diversity in my music - and it was just such a fun song to make," she said.

"I've always been a singer, but some people don't know that I make that kind of music. You're getting to know me more, coming and stepping closer to me.

"It's about being really fluid, not worrying about labels or genders or anything like that, love is free and we love who we want - being ourselves 100% is so important."

Miss Kaninna said working with Jacob Farah has been an incredible experience.

"As two Black artists, we wanted to deliver music that has the potential to stand up against international acts, music that feels good, music for our communities and music we wanna listen to," she said.

Having already headlined the NAIDOC Bad Apples Showcase and played Yirramboi Festival, Heaps Gay, Dark Mofo, Pangaea, Party In The Paddock, MONA FOMA, The Great Escape and more, Miss Kaninna's growth as an artist has increased rapidly in recent years.

With a mission to bring new representation to the music scene and an urgency to dismantle oppressive structures, Miss Kaninna's music is a powerful expression of her experiences as a young black woman in the colony, drawing from a rich cultural heritage.

Coined as an unrelenting voice of punk and power drawing from the paths laid before her by musician and activist mother Ruth Langford - who works with the Indigenous Women's Legal Centre for women experiencing violence in the family as well as founding Aboriginal social enterprise Nayri Niara - Miss Kaninna has and continues to be heavily influenced by her mother and also her late grandmother Rosalind Langford.

Rosalind played a vital role in starting the first Aboriginal organisation (Aboriginal Information Service) in Tasmania in the 1970s.

Miss Kaninna's reputable music career has also seen her be accepted into the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, eventually going on to be cast as Cynthia in the national theatre tour of The Sapphires.

With a series of performances in the pipeline and a new single, Miss Kaninna has solidified her position as a competitive female force in both the music and broader creative industry.
