Described as “a female version of Ben Folds when he was at his best” (Marty Duda, 13th Floor), Chrissie Hart, who performs as Star Chart, excels in telling stories born from the comedic drama of daily life for an average girl.

After finding a shared love of lyrics and unusual song subjects, Hart teamed up with producer Jess Haugh for this project. “We had a ball of time recording together with the help of session musos and New Music Development funding,” says Hart, who met Haugh through her Woman About Sound workshops.

When talking about the lyrical content of the song, here’s what Chrissie has to say. “This song was written about a relationship trying to survive the daily tribulations of domestic life. A stark contrast from the single GPS from my first EP, which was all about trying to find a man in your thirties”

Auckland-born multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Hart is no stranger to the stage. Chrissie worked as a professional pianist and singer internationally for 5-star hotels and cruise lines. Her first original release was a collaboration with chart-topping electronic duo Yolanda be Cool in 2013. 2019 brought her first independently released EP No Birthday.
