Young rising pop rock artist Ainsley Costello returns with a new single that advocates setting boundaries, Change Your Mind.

By Graeme Smith

Ainsley’s music has been featuring on these pages since she was included in Jane’s Sedimentary Rock playlist in 2022. Last year, I ran the rule over her track Cherry On Top.

Her latest single shows her growth as an artist without losing the sound that drew us to her in the first place. Channelling influences from the likes of Paramore and Hayley Williams, Change Your Mind is an anthem that makes it clear that it’s OK to say ‘no’ when you want to. Storytelling lyrics star during a simmering first verse before the chorus treats us to passionate vocals and big riffs.

Change Your Mind was co-written with Chloe Duvall, Nathan Dohse, and producer Ryan Lau. It’s out now and you can give it a listen below.
