Melbourne's own electro/pop five-piece project, The Engagement has already released a collection of well-received singles without any sign of letting up. Melbourne’s Fox FM described the project as “a cool 80’s/retro sound”, while Triple M personality Jane Gazzo simply called it “Fantastic”. Drawing influences from some heavyweights of the rock and pop genres, such as Imagine Dragons and Coldplay, The Engagement combines catchy melodies and edgy production with lyrical depth that creates a unique and addictive sound. ‘Engagement’ is much more than a name for this project; it’s what happens to anyone who hears these songs. It’s hard to listen to any of their singles, (Closer, Unbroken, Let Go, just to name a few) without becoming an immediate fan. With previous singles, Let Go and Unbroken generating over 400,000 streams collectively and crossing international borders with US No.1 indie radio single, Home. The Engagement is quickly gaining fans in Australia and around the world.
