Yirrmal | "Get Happy" and "Dhaliwuy Bay"

Extraordinarily passionate and incredibly gifted singer-songwriter, Yirrmal has just released his back to back singles "Get Happy" and "Dhaliwuy Bay". Hailing from the Rirratjingu clan group in the remote North East Arnhem Land community of Yirrkala, his works share his joy of creating, re-telling and performing stories as old as time with a fresh, inspired and contemporary reflection.
Secure and comfortable in his own identity and belief, Yirrmal charts his own journey, “I want people to forget about their troubles for a while, to live in the moment and just enjoy this music.”
Get Happy is a super fun toe-tapping lighthearted ditty about being happy and carefree, putting a smile on people's faces with not a care in the world.  The tune is reminiscent and nostalgic of an uncomplicated, earlier time when things seemed simpler, people were content, and kids got dirty and climbed trees. We could all do with a bit of Get Happy in our lives considering what the Australian community has faced over the last few years! 
Dhaliwuy Bay is expressive of the thoughts of Yirrmal’s thoughts of his grandmother and grandfather, love and loss, and having space to acknowledge his inner feelings. An emotionally beautiful track, and a call to Yarmal’s loved ones.
Yirrmal’s music expresses a powerfully instinctive and intuitive pledge that echoes and embraces buoyant courage and empathy, and he has plenty to say, sharpening his craft over the years from mentors such as Archie Roach, Shane Howard, Neil Murray, Yothu Yindi and Andrew Farriss. The record, produced by Andrew Farriss (INXS) and recorded by Studios 301 at Andrew’s Piedmont Studio, will be released later in 2022.
Yirrmals tracks “Get Happy" and "Dhaliwuy Bay"are celebratory and timeless, capturing thoughts and feelings of what it means to be alive in a beautiful and ancient landscape.
