2025 has already proven to be one of Evie Irie‘s most defining years to date – the release of dynamic singles ‘Alter Ego’, ‘Mercedes Medicated’ and bold empowerment anthems ‘I’m Not Sorry’ and ‘Rebel’ has further established Evie as one of Australia’s most compelling young voices, while her continued evolution as an independent artist has spurned her forward into uncharted creative territory. Today, we uncover a new chapter with ‘Kiss and Run’.
 
‘Kiss and Run’ offers a remarkable full-circle moment from Evie, delivered with raw emotional intelligence and the kind of authentic storytelling that has become her signature.

Originally written when she was just 12 years old, ‘Kiss and Run’ has been reimagined nearly a decade later as a stunning meditation on growth, resilience and artistic rebirth.
 
“‘Kiss and Run’ was one of the first songs I ever wrote when I was 12 and only knew how to play 2 chords. My sister came home from a party and told me a story that ended up becoming the exact narrative in the song. Almost 10 years later, it called me back. While going through my catalogue of hundreds of songs, this one stood out… its themes of rejection and emotional fragility still resonated with me.”  EVIE IRIE

The track emerged during a pivotal chapter of rediscovery for the 22-year-old artist. After parting ways with Republic Records, Evie embarked on a journey of rebuilding trust in herself, her creativity, and her connection to music. ‘Kiss and Run’ became the catalyst for that transformation – a bold stride forth that serves to connect with her listeners in the most authentic way possible.
 
“Coming back to this song was a healing, full-circle moment. It brought me back to the deep-rooted love, passion, and joy I had when I first started and gave me a new appreciation for how much I’ve changed and grown through the journey… No names were changed to protect the guilty.”  EVIE IRIE

‘Kiss and Run’ is unapologetic and unfiltered – traits that have found themselves at the core of Evie’s songwriting evolution. With a catalogue of released and unreleased songs that exceed 300 to date, Evie’s personal and engaging style of storytelling continues to establish her as one of the most promising songwriters of her generation.
 
A powerful talent, Evie’s catalogue of music has accumulated over 35 million streams across Spotify and Apple Music, while her songs have been featured in episodes of TV shows including The Bold Type, The Hills, Love Life, The Rookie, The Block and more.

Recently, she collaborated with Netflix and Tim Minchin on ‘Hello World’, the title track for the animated film Back to the Outback – a project that brought Evie to a whole new demographic of fans and followers.
 
As a live performer, Evie has developed into a beloved and in-demand name on the road. In 2019, she made her international debut at sold out showcase shows in New York and Los Angeles, all the while growing in profile at home, supporting the likes of Bastille, Amy Shark and Sigrid in Australia. Evie has recently joined dear friend mehro on his Weirdthrob World Tour, spanning 23 cities across the USA and just now wrapping up 15 dates across Europe.
