    Yorta Yorta MC Briggs has teamed up with Gamilaraay singer Thelma Plum for his new single Go To War, his second single released in 2020.

    It's not the first time the pair have worked together, linking up for an A.B Original track, ICU, in the past, and it's clear the pair have some serious chemistry.

    Speaking about the track, Briggs said it's a song about acting without fear. “After every avenue is exhausted and every word has been said, every bridge has been crossed or burnt, Go To War is about ‘having it up to here’ and asking yourself, ‘is this where you want to be?

    “I wrote this in the booth, with producer Jayteehazard, over one day in the studio. I’d imagined Thelma being on the song when I was cooking it up, and we threw some ideas back and forth and knocked it out over another day. The song is about fearlessness. When you get pushed too far and you’re backed into a corner and there’s very little recourse.”

    The video for Go To War features both Briggs and Thelma, as well as a host of others, including the Muggera Dancers, Barkaa, Nooky, Kobie Dee and Scottie Marsh.

    Go To War comes from Briggs' upcoming EP Always Was, a six-track release that's the long-awaited follow-up to his 2014 solo album Sheplife. The EP is out on August 21st.

    It's set to feature Go To War, as well as previously released single Extra Extra, and a collaboration with MUKI called Good Morning which Briggs recently teased during an interview with triple j.
