<p>Written, produced and recorded in his bedroom following a period of creative stagnation, ‘Fickle’ reflects on a turbulent relationship through the lens of acceptance – even though a relationship was fleeting and imperfect, you wouldn't change it. Sharing a demo of ‘Fickle’ on his socials earlier this month, the snippet has already reached over 3 million views with 500,000 interactions across socials, with fans pleading for Newport to release the song.</p><p><em>“Fickle felt like a reward from the universe.

Then one day I stumbled into making this song. I was watching YouTube with my guitar plugged into the amp, just playing around with chords, until I landed on something that felt really good. After that I was in a complete flow state and made most of what you hear today in one sitting.”</em></p><p>To celebrate the release of ‘Fickle’, Newport will be heading on an Australian headline tour in October.
