Melbourne’s rising electro-pop force POLLY continues her ascent with ‘BETTER’, a sleek and emotionally charged track that lands somewhere between a midnight confession and a dancefloor daydream. With just a few singles to her name, she’s already proving herself to be a master of contrasts by melding glittering production with deeply human sentiment.
On the surface, ‘BETTER’ glows with polished pop sheen and a groove is as magnetic as it is melancholic. But underneath the high-gloss exterior lies a raw reflection on insecurity, comparison, and the quiet ache of never quite measuring up. POLLY lets it simmer beneath the beat, giving the track an emotional weight that lingers long after the final chorus.
‘BETTER’ also sets the stage for her upcoming EP ‘Daddy Issues’, which promises to dig even deeper into the formative scars and emotional blueprints that shape us. If this single is any indication, POLLY is less concerned with pop perfection and more interested in raw and shimmering truth.
With collaborators spanning chart-topping names and Grammy pedigrees, there’s no doubt POLLY has the tools to craft hit-ready tunes. But what makes her work truly stand out is how personal it feels, excavating the kind of feelings we all bury, dressing them up in synths and letting them dance.
