EDIE has today released her new video and single titled ‘Burning’, from her latest EP ‘Garden of Edie’. Anyone still insisting pop rock has run out of fresh ways to break your heart clearly has not crossed paths with EDIE. ‘Burning’ arrives with the confidence of an artist who knows exactly where she wants to stand and is perfectly happy watching expectations go up in smoke behind her. Wrapped in glowing guitars and a polished production that never loses its emotional bite, the track captures that painful instant when staying becomes more dangerous than leaving. It is catchy enough to live on repeat while quietly reminding you that the best revenge is reclaiming yourself.
EDIE continues carving out a space that belongs entirely to her. Her voice moves between vulnerability and defiance without sounding like it is checking boxes for dramatic effect. Every lyric feels earned and every chorus lands with the kind of conviction that separates genuine emotion from empty theatrics. Plenty of artists love to throw around words like empowerment, but EDIE actually builds toward it, allowing the song to breathe before delivering its emotional payoff.
The accompanying video refuses to settle for being a decorative extra. Gothic horror collides with period drama as candlelit hallways, storm soaked tension, and Renaissance inspired imagery transform the song into something that feels almost mythological. Watching EDIE search through the mansion before discovering the forgotten version of herself gives the narrative an emotional punch that sticks long after the final frame. Leaving the burning house behind is less about destruction than it is about finally choosing freedom, and that symbolism never feels forced.
‘Burning’ also shows how much attention EDIE pays to atmosphere. Every guitar line, every vocal layer, and every visual choice works toward the same emotional destination. Nothing exists simply because it looks cool, although it certainly does. The result is a complete artistic statement that rewards listeners who want more than another breakup anthem wrapped in fashionable production.
EDIE has been building serious momentum over the past year, and ‘Burning’ feels like another giant leap rather than a cautious next step. It captures everything that has made her one of the more exciting voices emerging from Perth while pushing her songwriting into even richer territory. Pop rock desperately needs artists willing to embrace big emotions without sacrificing personality, and EDIE delivers exactly that with a song that burns brightly from its opening note to its final, triumphant embers.
About ‘Burning’
One of the EP’s most emotionally charged moments, ‘Burning’ pairs warm, guitar-led production with the painful realization that a relationship has become toxic, finding hope in the decision to finally walk away.
Directed by Stephanie Senior, the cinematic clip unfolds inside a candlelit mansion on a storm-ridden night, where EDIE wanders dimly lit corridors in search of something just out of reach. Dressed in Renaissance-inspired costume and surrounded by looming shadows, she moves through the house while avoiding a tense, controlling presence.
In the closing moments, EDIE discovers another version of herself hidden away inside a wardrobe, a symbolic representation of the part of herself lost within the relationship. Together, they escape as the house is left to burn behind them.
Blending gothic horror with period drama, the accompanying music video transforms ‘Burning’ into a psychological tale of survival and self-reclamation. Rather than dwelling on loss, the film centers on rediscovering the parts of ourselves that can become hidden through fear, grief and emotional hardship.
The release of ‘Burning’ continues the visual world established across EDIE’s world, bringing another chapter of the EP to life through cinematic storytelling.
About EDIE
Bringing her bold, fiery and unapologetic main character energy, EDIE is Perth’s pop-rock princess with a wicked streak.
Her authentic presence made sure that live shows were a true draw – her EP show in September 2024 at The Bird completely sold out. Her packed year of new releases led to her being supported by Rolling Stone AU, Tone Deaf, The Music, Music Feeds, Triple J Unearthed, Triple J, ABC Rage and so much more. After the release of a trail of edgy-cutthroat singles, she unveiled her debut EP ‘unsaid’ as the culmination of her gothic themes, receiving praise for her unapologetic energy.
Backing up her 2024 debut EP in 2025, EDIE returned with two singles, ‘Bleed’ and ‘Girl’s Girl’. Her gothic antihero energy continued in ‘Bleed’, a bitter anthem to “love” in the modern era. 80s danceable synth lent to the throwback thread woven through her recent releases, while EDIE’s sweet and sour vocals showcased her talent and emotion as she raged against the seemingly universal fear of commitment. With ‘Girl’s Girl’, she sharpened her perspective even further, pairing biting lyricism with infectious pop hooks and doubling down on her bold sense of self.
