Crafting timely indie pop for the extremely online, Sydney’s Carla Wehbe routinely makes a big impression. She first appeared alongside Tyron Hapi and Roy Bing on 2019’s “Touched”, introducing her heartfelt singing and cutting lyrics. Her 2020 debut EP, Half Past Nine, imparted the synth-shaded ballad “Somebody Loves You” and emotionally heightened golden-oldies flashback “Like Lovers Do”, while the following year brought a guest spot with rapper Illy on the lamenting “No Feelings”. After the latter confirmed her breakout vocal potential, Wehbe brought a more cathartic delivery to spiky yet string-swept alt-rock like “introvert (with extroverted expectations)” and vulnerable dance pop like “hurts to love you”, both from 2021. Since then, she has written more autobiographical material: she compares the frustrating vagaries of everyday experience to sleeping with her ex on 2024’s “Life’s an Awful Mess”, and she has described 2025’s empowering “OCD” as “a love letter from the part of me I’ve tried to kill a hundred times”. Just as Wehbe’s bubbly melodies and forthright choruses reliably stick, her barbed lyrical revelations feel increasingly personal and painfully funny.
