E^ST has been around the Aussie music scene for five years now, and the constant flow of EPs and singles made this debut album I'M DOING IT incredibly sought after. Over the past five years, E^ST - real name Melisa Bester - has developed her own unique sound, with a mix of synth-pop beats and catchy reverb vocal melodies.

 

This album takes you on a journey from gut-wrenching heartbreak and loss, to the feeling of pain and self-doubt and finally, to acceptance and coping. Most collections of music attempt to tell stories with their songs, and most fail.

 

Every one of these songs tell a story in their own right, yet when put together become a thirty-six-minute journey of a young adult's life. Kind of like FRIENDS; you can watch the episodes by themselves but it's so much better when you watch the whole series.
