UPHORIA, the rising, multi-instrumentalist, solo artist hailing from Australia’s Sunshine Coast, bursts onto the scene with her single, “Don’t Wanna Catch Your Disease.” It’s a declaration, a sonic slap in the face to anyone who’s ever tried to dim someone else’s sparkle.

This track is all about reclaiming power. Imagine that feeling when you finally rip off a band-aid that’s been stuck way too long. You can taste the aftermath of a toxic, narcissistic entanglement – but instead of bitterness, there’s a ferocious rejection of that poison. The title itself? A brilliant bit of metaphorical hygiene.

Musically, UPHORIA straddles the line between pop-rock, a smidge of pop punk with big helpings of straight up rock. It’s a blend that feels, dare I say, both a nod to the past and a fresh slap of reality. And speaking of the past, ever noticed how the best revenge is a killer chord progression?

The song structure keeps it tight, a deliberate move that holds you through the experience, mirroring that clear headed state after escaping a bad situation. No messing around. “Don’t Wanna Catch Your Disease” states its case boldly and without remorse; There’s defiance in every note, a “you can’t touch me anymore” vibe that ripples through the catchy, hook-laden composition. Ever met a parrot with boundary issues? Neither have I.

The lyrics are a fierce, unfiltered declaration of independence. UPHORIA isn’t just singing about moving on; she’s building a fortress against manipulative individuals, choosing a path free of their control. It’s the kind of resolute determination that feels ripped from the soul.

“Don’t Wanna Catch Your Disease” makes you think… Will future archaeologists dig up this song and declare it the anthem of a generation that finally learned to say “No, thanks”? Food for thought.
