After bringing Australia back to the Top Ten at Eurovision in Liverpool, Australis’s 2023 representatives Voyager have released their new album “Fearless In Love”, which is their first album in nearly four years.
Voyager’s 8th album is finally out
Speaking about the release of their album, Voyager mentioned that the recording took place at a ‘transformational time’ and that their new music reflects this and are proud of their latest release.
After many years of writing, demoing, isolating, perfecting and recording, we are proud to present our 8th album in full, “Fearless In Love”. We are so proud of this album. It comes at a transformational time in our lives, and the music reflects that feeling perfectly. We have so many people to thank throughout the last four or so years for what we now have, and this year in particular is one we will never forget.
Thank you for everyone who has or will listen to Fearless in Love, either now or in years to come. We love making music for you, and for us, and we hope you enjoy this new 45 minute journey as much as we enjoyed making it
Since their Eurovision participation in Liverpool, Voyager embarked on a Sold-Out tour of Australia in June. If you missed your opportunity to watch them earlier this year, then fear not! The band will be touring Europe in October, with the shows starting in Cologne, and surprisingly having the last show in Liverpool, where they managed to score a top ten placing in the final of Eurovision 2023.
