Hope can be hard to find, especially when things aren’t exactly great. Things aren’t exactly great in Australia at the moment, and hope is extremely hard to find. Led by Shepparton rapper Briggs, The Children Came Back (inspired by the Archie Roach classic They Took The Children Away) is a song full of hope. Briggs effortlessly lists a veritable hall of fame featuring Aboriginal heroes past and present, the track arrangement swelling majestically, leading to a bait and switch lyrical serve directed at our PM that’s so masterful in tone (no pun intended) that quoting it here would be an immense disservice. Listen for yourself.
