WILSN
Australian vocalist Shannon Busch, who records under the name WILSN, takes influence from a popular source: American R&B music of the mid-20th century. Her 2023 debut album, Those Days Are Over, bears the fingerprints of Motown and blues while never serving as mere pastiche.
Busch, born in Geelong, Victoria and based in Melbourne, was compelled to study the great female voices of jazz and R&B from her parents’ record collection, most notably Billie Holiday, Etta James, and especially Aretha Franklin (whom she discovered from the Queen of Soul's appearance in The Blues Brothers). A student of Melbourne’s Victorian College of the Arts, Busch soon signed a publishing deal and briefly moved to Nashville to hone her craft, furthering her love of soul even more. Though she took an equal interest in pop-based R&B performers like Alicia Keys and Adele, Busch was compelled to pursue more straightforward soul and blues after opening for the similarly oriented Aussie act the Teskey Brothers on a European tour. Working with a team of musicians across Australia and America to fashion the songs she wrote at home and abroad into finished material, WILSN emerged from COVID-19 lockdown with confident singles like “You Know Better,” “Tell Me,” and “Me or Her,” which appeared on her 2022 EP If You Wanna Love Me and on her debut album Those Days Are Over along with the acclaimed “Hurts So Bad” (recorded on the album as a solo track and a duet with tourmate Josh Teskey).
Busch wasted little time in the wake of Those Days Are Over. She recorded a transformative, soulful cover of Crowded House's “Better Be Home Soon” with Indigenous artist Budjerah for Mushroom Records' 60th anniversary in 2023 and reunited with producer Stephen Mowat on the singles “Can’t Afford Therapy” and “I Got You.”
