Perth singer, songwriter and producer Newport, the project of Dylon Newport, released “everything was fickle” with Arden Jones on November 4, 2026 via Mushroom Music. It is a new version of his August 25 single “Fickle”, with the Bay Area artist stepping into a song whose title comes straight off the chorus hook.
The original started small. Newport wrote, produced and recorded “Fickle” in his bedroom, a song about a short-lived connection with someone imperfect, then teased it online until the clips passed 3 million views. As he told The Note, “‘Fickle’ felt like a reward from the universe.”
Arden Jones slides right into that world. Fresh off his debut album FLASH, he brings a second voice to a song that already felt like a late-night voice memo, and the whole thing sounds hazy, warm, and a little bittersweet. Newport has been posting versions of “Fickle” tagged by time and place, “5:35pm at the beach” and “7:45pm on a rooftop” among them, and this one feels made for the golden hour in between.
Newport is a triple j Unearthed Forecast Artist for 2026, and his bedroom pop pulls from indie, soul and hip-hop in a way that travels easily. Pairing him with Arden Jones feels like a smart bridge from Perth to American ears, and a sign this run is only getting bigger.
