I'M DOING IT by E^ST

I'm Doing It, the first full-length album from E^ST, the project of South African-born Australian singer-songwriter Melisa Bester, finally landed through Warner Music Australia on 31 July 2020 after the pandemic pushed it back from its June date and wiped out two secret shows planned for Melbourne and Sydney. It had been a long road there: four EPs, starting with Old Age in 2014, and support slots on national tours with Twenty One Pilots and Panic! at the Disco.

By her own account it's a record about not having your life figured out, about stumbling through heartbreak and battles with mental health as she tries to become a better person, and that push and pull runs right through its big, glossy indie pop. It earned a Best Album nomination at the 2021 Rolling Stone Australia Awards.
