LISTEN: Felicity Urquhart & Josh Cunningham Craft Stunning Duet On Heartfelt “Lifeline”

Since forging a partnership in music and life in 2020, Felicity Urquhart & Josh Cunningham have become a powerhouse duo in the Australian folk and country music scene. Drawing on decades of their own musical successes (Josh as a member of The Waifs, and Felicity as a Country artist and media personality), the duo has captivated audiences with their masterful songwriting, impeccable musicianship, and undeniable chemistry both in the studio and on stage.

On their latest single, the heartfelt, twangy ballad “Lifeline,” Cunningham and Urquhart’s innate chemistry unravels with a poetic flourish. The duo’s vocals slowly dance with each other over a sleek, soulful country arrangement, as they explore the blinding realization of falling in love. “Lifeline” features a longing that is juxtaposed by the intimacy of the lyrics, almost as if the duo can’t decide if the love they’re experiencing is the right one. Rather than painfully ruminate, Urquhart and Cunningham bask in the possibilities of love and entertain the ever-curious heart. “Lifeline” is a stunning duet from a celebrated folk duo who still find joy in the nuances of creation and their relationship with art. 

“Love is the lifeline. We depend on it for our existence; it’s as much a rescue from danger as any rope thrown to a drowning person in wild seas, and an examination of the lifeline on any palm would reveal the presence or lack of love in that life,” explains Cunningham. “We all need it, we all want it, and we all love to sing about it.”
