PJ Harding has just released his debut EP 'People Don't Change' a collaboration project with Noah Cyrus, which features 'Dear August' and more!

“At heart, this is really a raw, homemade record,” Harding stated. “There’s a strong folk tradition in Australia, which you can possibly feel. There’s certainly a lot of Nashville in there too. I feel like Noah is really the guiding force here. She’s the soul of this record.”

Their paths first crossed in Bali at a 2018 summer songwriting camp, and from there, Harding went on to play guitar for Noah's song “Good Cry.” A year later at the same retreat, the pair had a proper meeting— and the connection was instantaneous. “From the moment we met, I just wanted to be in a band with PJ so bad!” said Cyrus. “Even though neither of us expected to be here, it’s honestly my dream collaboration, and that’s not bullshit because I knew it immediately.”

After co-writing four songs from Cyrus’ 2020 EP, The End of Everything, they released their first joint single “Dear August”...“It was full circle and funny for us to write ‘Dear August’ after ‘July’,” shared Cyrus. “I was going through a lot. I suffer from anxiety and depression. We were in this cloud of darkness where it’s very easy to fall into bad habits. July and August 2020 were the hardest parts of quarantine for me. I lost my grandma and I was looking to the future for hope. The song reminds me you will get to the light at the end of the tunnel. It may not be perfect, but you’ll get there.”
