Songs to listen to before Peach PRC’s tour, based on your love life

For the lover girls, the sad girls, the horny girls, and everyone in between.

As someone who first knew Peach PRC as an equally gorgeous and hilarious TikToker, watching the Adelaide native’s well-deserved ascent into pop stardom has been absolutely surreal – but not surprising. 

Peach is magnetic, with an X factor that makes it impossible to look away. And when it comes to blending poignant storytelling with irresistible melodies, no one is doing it quite like her. Lucky for us, it’s only a matter of time until we’re all treated to a glimpse into Peach’s manic pixie dream world.

Fresh off the back of a sold-out North American headline tour (not to mention multiple festival performances), Peach is returning to the Southern Hemisphere for her Wandering Spirit Tour, playing seven shows across Australia and New Zealand. Kicking off in early March, the run includes dates in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Auckland and Wellington, with final tickets now remaining for select shows.

While we count down the days until her first show at Melbourne’s Palace Foreshore, we’ve curated a little playlist of the Peach PRC tracks you need to listen to, based on what’s going on in your love life (especially if you’re deep in the trenches). A mix of fresh new bangers, plus some songs you’ve definitely heard before, these are sure to get stuck in your head.

If you’re caught in a mind-bending love triangle, try… ‘Back to You’

Torn between the person who’s best for you on paper and the person you want carnally (and feeling guilty about it)? You’re not alone. In her most recent release, ‘Back to You’, Peach wrestles with loving the girl who’s good for her and the girl from her past who dominates her daydreams. If you find yourself feeling trapped in your perfectly healthy relationship and longing for that wild summer fling you haven’t seen in two years, this one’s for you.

If you’ve recently been traumatised by a tradie, try… ‘Josh’

‘Josh’ is  the tune for anyone who’s dumped someone known to your friends as ‘the worst guy ever.’ This groovy little earworm is an oldie but a goodie, having come in at number 35 on Triple J’s Hottest 100 in 2021, so it’s one you probably already know and love. Whether you’ve just escaped the clutches of a financially irresponsible manchild or you’re questioning if you should block your toxic situationship, ‘Josh’ is the song you’ll be dying to scream at the upcoming show.

If your number one love interest is yourself, try… ‘Miss Erotica’

Maybe the hottest person you’ve seen lately is the one looking back at you from the mirror. Good for you! ‘Miss Erotica’ is all about feeling like the sexiest, most hypnotic person in the room. Peach is at her best on this track, which is a celebration of her time working at a strip club. This is an anthem reminiscent of 2010s dance-pop, best for jumping around your room in your underwear, engaging in some solo play and thinking about what a hottie you are.

If your love life is purely parasocial at the moment, try… ‘Kinda Famous’

With the total drought of tolerable Australian bachelors, we wouldn’t blame any straight women for permanently swapping Tinder dates with Josh O’Connor movie marathons. Sometimes, it’s okay to visit a fantasy world where celebrities are in love with you. On ‘Kinda Famous’, Peach demonstrates her witty lyricism with a parasocial ode to the object of her obsession. Listen to this when you’re correcting someone about your celebrity crush’s relationship history, and you realise maybe you know too much about this person you’ve never met. 

If you’ve been made to feel you’re too broken to love, try… ‘Heavy’

Peach’s willingness to be vulnerable online is a huge part of what slingshotted her into superstardom and her single ‘Heavy’ was born from that vulnerability. Many of us have been told we’re too needy, too emotional, too broken to be with, and when that happens, a sad, relatable song and a good cry is the best medicine. ‘Heavy’, a heartwrenching song about feeling unlovable, is the perfect soundtrack to a therapeutic shower sob, when all you want is to let it out.
