Melbourne-based indie-pop gem Tamara & the Dreams returns with her new single, ‘Successful Bisexual’. Written while backpacking across the Greek Islands, the long-awaited track, the band’s first since 2022, is a frantic, heart-on-sleeve anthem about chasing experience, embracing desire, and living every moment to the fullest.

While much of the track soars with freedom and possibility, a thread of relentless anxiety weaves through its lyrics, capturing the universal fear that life may slip away before you’ve achieved everything you intended to do.

With Tamara’s signature blend of wit and sincerity, the single captures the magic of self-discovery: the exhilarating journey of becoming who you truly are. Tamara explains: “I wrote the song ‘Successful Bisexual’ into my voice memo app on a ferry while backpacking in the Greek Islands. After so many years of not feeling comfortable in my skin I finally felt ‘me’ — I finally felt confident, hot, independent — like I had ‘come of age’.

“I wanted to capture that feeling of running out of time, being afraid of the end of youth, and this imagined age when you have to ‘grow up’ and stop living life to the fullest. The lyrics ‘age another year’ are repeated, and I tried to capture the urgency and finiteness of life, how scary growing up is, but also how time is our greatest gift.”
