Piper Butcher Breaks The Ice With New Single ‘Turn The Key’

After scoring a spot in Australian Idols’ top 24, Newcastle-based Piper Butcher shares a story of wanting to be something more than just friends in ‘Turn The Key’, releasing Thursday, May 23. This marks a huge comeback for the independent indie pop/ rock artist, being her first release since her majorly successful single ‘Unconscious Mind’ in late 2022.

On her Australian Idol debut in 2023, Piper received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the likes of Amy Shark, Harry Connick Jr, Kyle Sandilands and many others. Piper has also received nationwide radio play of her single ‘Read Between The Lines’ as well as the accompanied music video featuring on Country Music Channel. She has also reached #1 on the AMRAP regional charts, #1 on the Alternative Album iTunes chart, and #2 on the All-Genre iTunes chart, just to name a few mind-blowing achievements.

Now, with her new soulful track 'Turn The Key', Piper is filled with hope that her crush has the ‘same thing on their mind’. The glistening guitars, along with Piper’s enchanting vocals convey her suspense-ridden story, sure to strike the hearts of any listener who yearns for that certain someone to feel the same way. Piper reflects that:

“The tale pulls from the suspenseful feelings of wanting to know a person more than a friend and finding a way to break the ice and be together. ‘Turn the Key’ shows a more fun and cheeky side of Pipers’ narratives, while still enchanting listeners with her commanding studio presence.”

Piper Butcher's feeling-driven sound and impressive songwriting ability shown in ‘Turn The Key’ should prove to fans that the incredible up-and-coming artist hasn’t gone anywhere and has much, much more to come. With the discography to mark her as an exciting new artist in Australian music, and her new single undoubtedly proves her worthiness even further.
