Since surfacing in 2019, Sharlee Jade Curnow has evolved into one of Australia’s most individual pop exports. Her debut album demonstrates just how much Curnow’s personality informs her work as Peach PRC, expanding upon the glittering fairy sensibilities of her ARIA-nominated Manic Dream Pixie EP to usher in more varied moods and messaging. After celebrating the therapeutic effect of the Australian bush—where the titular species of tree thrives—on “Eucalyptus”, Curnow recounts the rosy hues of her childhood kitchen during the strings-kissed “Pink”. Both play like chapters of her unique origin story. So does the lullaby-esque closer “Shirley Barber”, named after a popular British children’s author and illustrator who dreamed up tales of fairies and forests. Musically, these songs add blissful layers of New Age and ambient music to radio-friendly forays into synth-pop and power ballads. Working with a cast of top-tier producers and co-writers, Curnow varies the sound here while keeping the subject matter personal and specific. The openly queer songwriter details the agony of a closeted queer relationship on “Out Loud”, while the empowering club anthem “Miss Erotica” draws on her work as a stripper before launching her music career. The evocative ballad “The Palace” mentions Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” and a palace with cheetah print floors, further filling out the mood board of an already distinctive pop artist. Curnow may call herself “just a wandering spirit” early on in this album, but Porcelain confirms her as a grounded and fully formed creative voice.
