Better

About the Artist

Dja Dja Wurrung Country/Castlemaine-based multi-award-winning songwriter, musician, advocate and writer Eliza Hull (she/her) today announces her forthcoming album You'd Think We'd Be Used To Change By Now (4 Dec / independent). At its core exploring change and nostalgia - "looking back at who we’ve been while growing into who we’re becoming" - the album moves through relationships, womanhood, desire and the ways we continue to shift and evolve throughout our lives, ultimately a testament to resilience and listening to your instincts steeped in evocative textural production via Hull in her first album co-producer credit alongside ARIA Award-winner Pip Norman (Missy Higgins, Baker Boy, Mia Wray). The album announcement comes alongside tender alt-pop/indie single + intimate shot-on-film video 'Better' - a continuation of the unapologetically raw emotional material Hull has shared in 2026 so far - and ahead of an intimate live performance in her hometown this weekend, also performing at the reopening of the Ian Potter State Theatre in October alongside Emma Donovan, roya the destroya and more - live dates below. 'Better' is out now - stream/purchase HERE. Also featuring recent singles 'Hotel Room' & 'What You Made Me Do', You'd Think We'd Be Used To Change By Now heralds a bold and emotionally expansive new era from one of the continent's most compelling artists. "Light comes, light leaves Something doesn't feel right in me" The announcement follows Hull's return to music in June this year, also receiving an O.A.M. in May for her contribution to music and disability advocacy, further cementing her reputation as one of the country's most important voices across both culture and accessibility. Fresh from another intimate acoustic show on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country in Naarm/Melbourne, Eliza Hull has attracted collective support for album singles 'Hotel Room' & 'What You Made Me Do' from Rolling Stone, The Australian Women in Music Awards, The Moment with Myf Warhurst, CBAA/AMRAP's Australian Music Is Bloody Great, Ramona Magazine, The AU Review, Backseat Mafia UK, This Song Is Yours, Double J (add - 'Hotel Room'), ABC Radio nationally and locally, iHeart Local Sounds and many more including iron-strong community radio support from the likes of SYN FM, Triple R, PBSFM, RTRFM, 4ZZZ and more resulting in AMRAP charting - most recently, 'What You Made Me Do' peaking in its National Charts at #4, Regional Charts at #3, Indie Charts at #1 and Pop Charts at #2. Creeping in gently like the morning's first cold rays, 'Better' examines the complexities of navigating long-term partnership, skittering over warped guitars and Eliza Hull's unmistakeably expressive vocals as the song softly builds to clattering chorus drums, dramatic cymbal brushes and forlorn piano - sonically capturing the gut-wrenching, tumultuous-but-tender feelings that can come at "that complicated point in a relationship where you want so badly for things to work that you begin questioning not only the relationship, but yourself - that space where things aren’t necessarily broken, but they don’t feel quite right either". Recorded at Sound Recordings on Dja Dja Wurrung Country, co-produced and co-written with ARIA Award-winning producer Pip Norman (Missy Higgins, Baker Boy, Mia Wray), mixed by Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding), and mastered by Lachlan Carrick (Emma Donovan, Meg Washington), 'Better' arrives alongside a hazy film video that sees Hull navigate the world alone - white-sheet beds, misty creeks, lonely restaurants and beyond, shot on Dja Dja Wurrung Country by Jack Jowett (Why We Kill). Of the single and video, Eliza Hull says: "Better’ isn't about questioning the people I love. It's about the complexity of being surrounded by love, family and a life you're deeply grateful for, while still having moments when something inside you doesn't feel okay. What I was really working out was how do I keep showing up here? How do I make myself better, so I can make this better? I was exploring the way we can internalise responsibility when something in a relationship doesn’t feel right. I also wanted it to acknowledge that most long relationships go through periods where things aren’t perfect. You can deeply love somebody and still have moments of distance, uncertainty or disconnection. With the video, I went for something really natural and filmed on film which I think shows the organic, vulnerability of the song."
