New Album - Lucky Stars OUT NOW!

Luck doesn’t hit like a lightning strike - it’s made. By people who show up when no one’s

watching, stay late when no one asked, and do it again tomorrow. People like Andrew

Swift.

From flipping burgers and flogging caravans to packing out theatres, the multi-award-

winning country music artist has played the long game - and it’s not always glamorous.

But one day you look around and realise you’ve landed in a life that once seemed like a

dream. People say you’re lucky. Swift knows better. That’s the ethos of his fourth studio

album, Lucky Stars - part victory lap, part love letter, and all heart.

Swift is one of Australian country’s most recognisable figures - and not just for the

tattoos, ball cap, and beard. 3 ARIA #1 albums (Australian Recording Industry

Association), over 8.3 million streams, the face of Spotify’s Fresh Country (Feb

2025), and 3 CMAA Golden Guitars (Country Music Association of Australia), including

the prestigious 2023 Male Artist of the Year.

While Lucky Stars bears the hallmarks of Swift’s innovative country sound – gritty

soundscapes of guitar and synth set to stadium-sized backbeats – it marks an emotional

shift for the tattooed troubadour. While his earlier offerings chased neon nights and loud

rooms; now the glow is softer - a porch light left on, a spotlight on stage, the smile of

someone waiting in the wings.

Upbeat toe-tappers like ‘Get Lost’, and ‘Ramble & Roam’ nod to his restless years,

while previous singles ‘(Hot Damn) It’s Been a Minute’ and ‘Nothing Better’ revel in

nostalgia and good times.

‘Nothing Better’ hit #4 on the Country Songs Top 40 Australian airplay chart and #26

on the CountryTown Hot 50 airplay chart, while ‘Get Lost’ soared to #2 on the Country

Songs Top 40 and was the #1 Most Downloaded track on Play MPE Country Singles.

‘See You At The Bottom’ climbed to #9 on the Country Songs Top 40 Australian

airplay chart – proving Swift’s momentum is more than luck; it’s earned.

Adding to the album’s run of hits, today Swift unveils his brand-new single, ‘Kickin’

Tires’. Rooted in his signature mix of contemporary country and rock grit, the track hits

with driving guitars and an easy swagger. Recorded with long-time collaborator Matt Fell

at Wilder Studios in Gowrie Park, Tasmania, and written with American natives Autumn

Buysse, Ben Didelot and Megan Redmond, it captures the energy of mateship,

mischief, and memory.

“I grew up in what was, at the time, a small town,” says the singer-songwriter. “There

wasn’t a whole lot to do – a whole lot of riding bikes, exploring down by the creek and,

as we got older, a whole lot of driving around and a whole lot of standing around kicking

tires and yarning.”

The track’s music video, directed and produced by Jay Seeney at Blacklist Productions,

was filmed on location at the Gympie Music Muster camping grounds. “I knew there

would be plenty of people kicking around with a few drinks, killing some time before

heading into the festival site. We met some great people, some real characters, whilst

filming among the campers.”

Loved-up tracks ‘Works for Us’ and ‘Change a Man’ tell that Swift’s found himself in

the middle of something serious and he’s not afraid to sing about it. His light-hearted

side shows on ‘Living Like We’re Loaded’, a free-wheeling rocker that sees him

laughing his way through date night on a budget. While the album’s most heart-warming

moment arrives on ‘Oh Valentine’ - a duet with his partner, Simone Sordello -

crystallising his love for their newborn daughter.

Recorded with multiple ARIA award winning producer Matt Fell at Wilder Studios in

Tasmania, Australia and mastered by Raelynn Janicke in Nashville, Lucky Stars is a

sonic statement. Pushing the boundaries of country music, it pulls together a who’s who

of co-writers from both sides of the Pacific - from Lindsay Rimes and Phil Barton to

Ella Hooper, Billie-Jo Porter, Blake Dantier, and members of The Wolfe Brothers.
