The Singing Our Futures program proudly announces the release of Breanna Lee’s new single ‘Can We Just Talk’ distributed via Bad Apples Music.
Breanna Lee, is a young Wemba Wemba artist from Melbourne Victoria. In 2026, Breanna Lee was selected for Singing Our Futures, the acclaimed First Nations artist development program created by the Archie Roach Foundation.
Lee prides herself on her Aboriginal heritage, as well as her emotional and cultural performances. Breanna can range from singing in language, to soulful ballads, allowing herself to be vulnerable every time she is on stage.
Turning the clock back to 2022, Breanna Lee was already making waves when she won Australia’s Got Talent “Golden Buzzer” award, setting the stage to create her own material.
Working alongside mentor Kee’ahn, ‘Can We Just Talk’ was developed through the Singing Our Futures program, a place that Lee has discussed supporting her voice, and brought this song to life.
Breanna speaks of the experience –
“I was incredibly honoured to have the opportunity to work alongside the amazing Kee’ahn, I’ve always looked up to them for their incredible talent and ability to create such powerful and meaningful music. She helped me transform my life experiences into a song that truly reflects my journey, and I’m so grateful for their guidance, creativity and support throughout the process.
Growing up, I always struggled to maintain a connection with my biological parents. That became even harder in the early years of high school, when I was suddenly treated differently by my friendship group. I felt isolated, excluded, and incredibly alone while trying to stay focused on my education….slowly I started to find myself.
This song is about that journey from hurt and loneliness to healing, self-acceptance and hope.
The single was recorded at Candy Suite and Aviary Recording Studios, co-produced by Candice Lorrae and Stephen Mowat. Mastered by Paul Blakey.
The Singing Our Futures program was established by the Archie Roach Foundation in collaboration with Culture is Life. It has evolved from the rich legacy left behind by Uncle Archie Roach, a legacy centered around the art of storytelling and truth-telling through music, as well as his dedication to nurturing and creating significant opportunities for emerging First Nations artists.
