You'll know Katy from Perth band Little Birdy who made huge waves around Australia with their three albums. Brother is from their last, Confetti.

Brother is a deeply personal song – it's vulnerable and tells the story of her brother Luke Steele [formerly The Sleepy Jackson and Empire of the Sun] and their father, blues musician Rick Steele.

It starts with the lyrics:
My Brother he taught me how to fly
My Papa he taught me how to cry

Listen to Brother - YouTube or Spotify

Katy’s new album Human is almost ready for release.

She describes it as her summer pop album.

You can find Katy Steele on Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and her website at katysteele.com.
