Album and EP releases
Dami Im - 'In Between' EP
Released: 7 July 2023
Eurovision royalty Dami Im released her latest EP 'In Between'.
'In Between' plays with the theme of Dami's life. In an interview with 5BC in Brisbane Dami revealed that the "in between" theme has many meanings for her, from being stuck between Australian and Korean cultures, having a music career and being a mother and not feeling like she belongs anywhere.
The new EP was written by Dami while she was pregnant. For the EP she collaborated with some familiar Australia Decides faces, Sheppard and Jude York.
