An ode to change, love, and self-discovery
Tāmaki Makaurau-based artist Erin G returns with Chameleon, a track that feels like golden hour - warm, nostalgic, and effortlessly cool."I’m a revolving door of versions of me," Erin says. "But the magic never leaves. It’s fun. It’s innocent. It’s emotional. And it’s pure."
Written when she was a teenager watching a friend fall in love, Chameleon has evolved into something deeper and is an ode to change, love, and self-discovery. "It’s a golden-hour soundtrack for a perfect summer day," Erin explains. "It reflects joy, melancholy, and everything in between."

Chameleon’s production is just as layered, with contributions from Tom Broome, Vivek Gabriel, and Shallows. "This song has been through so many iterations," Erin says, "from full band arrangements in high school to solo loop pedal versions. It’s been shaped by incredible musicians who helped bring it to where it is today. Now, as I step fully into my sound, it finally feels right to let Chameleon into the world."
With a collaborative liquid drum and bass EP with DJ/Producer Altercation on the way and more solo music in the works, Erin G is creating her own lane, on her own terms. Funded by NZ On Air under the Pan-Asian Fund.
