Queensland based singer-songwriter
Hello Jane has today kicked off 2022 with the release of her new sweet single
'Never Alone' plus announces a return to the stage with a string of shows across QLD and NSW.
Like a warm hug set to music,
'Never Alone' is the perfect song to melt away the distance between listeners, their friends and loved ones.
Hello Jane composed the song as a feel-good dedication to her sister who was unable to return home from overseas, due to the pandemic. She explains: "
Never Alone was written back in March 2020, the world had stopped for the first time with the beginning of the pandemic and my younger sister was alone in a country far away from home. Like many others with loved ones in different parts of the world, I worried. I worried some more and did the only thing I knew how to do: write a song."
Co-written with her brother, award-winning
Bradley McCaw,
'Never Alone' showcases the heart-wrenching sweet vocals and sophisticated songwriting finesse
Hello Jane is renowned for. The track was brought to life by award-winning producer
Michael Moko and features some of Australia's best session players including
Luke Moller (
