Devil Loose
Australia’s legendary guitarist, songwriter and producer Harry Vanda returns with his long-awaited debut solo release Devil Loose.
It’s a release that is at once timeless and immediate — carrying the weight of six decades of iconic music yet sounding freshly urgent for today. The track is both reflective and defiant, a song for the times, marking Vanda’s first new music since 1992 and his first project following the passing of his lifelong collaborator George Young.
Devil Loose brims with the melodic craft and instinct that defined Vanda’s career — from The Easybeats’ era-defining “Friday On My Mind,” through the Vanda & Young songwriting powerhouse behind AC/DC, Stevie Wright’s Evie, and John Paul Young’s Love Is In The Air, to the synth-driven Flash & The Pan classics like “Hey, St Peter.” This is the sound of an artist who shaped generations, once again stepping forward with something deeply his own.
