Stand Atlantic have today released a collaboration with fellow Australian songwriter, Alex Lahey, in celebration of pride month. Fans can now stream or download “Skinny Dipping (feat. Alex Lahey)” now via Spotify or Apple Music.

Proceeds from the track will benefit The It Gets Better Project, a nonprofit organisation with a mission to uplift, empower, and connect members of the LGBTQ community.  A visual for the song can also be streamed on the Hopeless Records YouTube channel here. 

“I’m so excited to be involved in this release with Stand Atlantic to celebrate Pride Month and support ItGetsBetter, states Lahey. “As a member of both the music and queer community, I know how important it is to support one another in order to make a greater difference. There is no better time than now to be your true self, exercise compassion, and stand up for what is right.” 

“Skinny Dipping is about the push and pull of accepting yourself for who you are vs. how you want others to see you and catering to what you think they expect or want,” explains Bonnie Fraser of Stand Atlantic. In this case, I was dealing with my sexuality. Having Lahey on this track was exciting for us – I feel like we are from different music worlds and breaking those boundaries and expectations is important, and essentially what this track encompasses as a whole!”
