Como “Worry”

Intimate and deeply revealing, Como releases “Worry,” speaking about a breakup and all its entangled threads. Inspired by her own life, “Worry” reads like a diary that gazes into her sadness and heartbreaks, but something else also happened when her words meet the music. Intense but aesthetically pleasing.

The Australia-based singer-songwriter tackles the experience of seeing your relationship fail and your partner drifting away, but instead of drowning, “Worry” is cathartic and therapeutic. With a luscious mood and intoxicating beats, the warm sounds of an old baby grand flow underneath Como’s smoothly stunning vocals as the duality of loss and hope engages in a melancholy tango. Everything is everywhere. Authentic and a little mystical.

It feels like something magical happening in her music, but to Como, it always comes back to real life. The three-time Austrian Music Award-nominated artist explains, “My muse is real life and real people, the complexity of our feelings, the good ones as well as the bad, and the fact that they sometimes come in strange couples.”

Como released her debut single “Suitcase” with Sony Music in 2013, and the track immediately took off. However, unlike most artists who would soon lose themselves in the business world, Como decided to pull back and refocus on what mattered the most to her, which was her music. Now as an independent artist with no restraint and plenty of ideas, Como is on the rise.
