PEPTALK and Montaigne Team Up for Glittering Single “Your World”

By FusioNostalgia

PEPTALK’s infectious energy, combined with their unique blend of pop hooks and positive representation, makes them a refreshing force in the indie pop world. Jay-Lee Kwan, Lara Frew, and Phoebe Sinclair, the trio that makes up PEPTALK, are not only friends but creators with a deep love for songwriting and collaboration. They’ve worked across borders, from Australia to South Korea, and their music reflects this global experience, blending styles and influences into something uniquely theirs. Whether it’s performing at festivals or securing K-Pop songwriting cuts, PEPTALK’s drive to create uplifting and relatable music shines through.

Their latest collaboration, “Your World,” created alongside Grammy-nominated artist Montaigne, is the latest example of their dedication to making music that speaks to real emotional experiences. The track, written at a Pride songwriting camp curated by Troye Sivan, tackles the exhausting reality of one-sided relationships—fighting to be heard by someone who simply isn’t listening. Yet, even as the song confronts the frustration of such experiences, the glittering, playful production gives it a sense of freedom and release. It’s a reminder of the importance of self-worth and the futility of trying to please someone who doesn’t value you.

Montaigne’s art-pop influences bring an added layer to PEPTALK’s already bright, optimistic sound. Together, they’ve crafted a track that feels both sonically fresh and deeply relatable. There’s a particular joy in how PEPTALK manages to balance the seriousness of their lyrical themes with the lightness of their production, a signature that speaks to their influences, including Remi Wolf, MUNA, and HAIM. “Your World” feels like a celebration of reclaiming your own voice, even when it feels like no one’s listening.

The band’s ethos of friendship and inclusivity radiates through every track, and “Your World” is no different. In a music industry that can often feel cynical or disconnected, PEPTALK remains true to their mission: being the positive representation they once longed for. Whether you’re drawn in by their sparkling production or their relatable lyrics, there’s no denying the warmth and sincerity that defines PEPTALK’s music.
