Tilly Fenton – I Just Wanna Kiss You
Melbourne indie pop artist Tilly Fenton levels up with her infectious new dreampop single “I Just Wanna Kiss You” out today, paired with a perfectly lush 90s inspired karaoke bar video clip.
Layered with upbeat synths and oozing with dreamy pop sensibility reminiscent of Blusher, Holly Humberstone and Gracie Abrams, the track was produced by Tilly’s mainstay producer, Michael Belsar (The Jungle Giants, Hayden James, Bob Moses) and mastered by powerhouse engineer, Dale Becker (Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish).
“I Just Wanna Kiss You is all about that flirty kind of love that feels easy at first, but ends up meaning a little more than you expected” explains Tilly. “It’s rooted in those small, in between moments where everything feels light, but there’s this quiet urgency underneath it.. like wanting to show someone you’re in it for real, before the moment slips away.”
Sharing a sumptuous, 90s inspired video for I Just Wanna Kiss You, Tilly flourishes in her sparkly pop glory, performing her pop anthem in a glitter-laden karaoke bar, complete with an impressive bevy of girlfriends and all the confetti and photobooth fun a pop queen could dream of.
“From the beginning, I knew I wanted this video to have my friends in it, because it feels like a song I would sing and dance along to with my girlfriends on a night out. Then director Michelle Pitiris came on board to bring the concept to life even further and that is where we leant into a more narrative-free approach, capturing the carefree candid moments between my friends and I. We intertwined that with some more intimate shots that reflect the vulnerability of the song.”
Starting her musical journey in 2023, Tilly Fenton has spent the past few years crafting her debut EP, working alongside renowned producers and songwriters Anna Laverty and Michael Belsar, while also channelling inspiration from Lizzy McAlpine, Gracie Abrams and Phoebe Bridgers into her own unique sound. An artist capable of balancing vulnerability with strength, Tilly is one of the rare few who can imbue the emotional complexity of growing up and navigating relationships through a mature lens far beyond her 23 years, with her debut single “The Secret and Valentine” already captivating listeners along the way. In 2025 she released five-track EP it’s a feeling that i know, snagging some solid support from triple j and commercial radio, and has been busy supporting exciting pop artists Lexi Jayde, Aleksiah, Seb Szabo and Mariae Cassandra.
