Circling Time, Kutcha’s fifth solo album is filled with stories and reflections on the singer’s past and inspirations for the present. A survivor of the Stolen Generations, Kutcha has throughout his life and career connected people with a determination to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Circling Time is profound and a timely reminder of the incredible depth and talent of one of the most inspiring voices within the country.

‘’In telling my story, I believe I’m telling my family’s story. Within the structure of family, there are members whose role it is to protect country. For others, it’s to protect the memories such as photos. I believe I have been given the responsibility to protect my family’s Songline,’’ explains Kutcha. ‘’Justice, heritage, forgiveness – all are words that resonate with me deeply. It’s my role to give songs meaning so that they can continue to connect my family and all my clans to country.

‘’This album is filled with spirit. It’s this spirit that I need to share and pass on so we can begin to heal and understand what our ancestors have passed on to us... the true meaning of ‘Circling Time’,’’ said Kutcha.

Kutcha’s songs on Circling Time are reflections on some of the highs, lows and formative chapters of this iconic singer songwriter’s life journey, starting from his birthplace in Balranald on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River. The album also showcases Kutcha’s incredible vocal range and his evolution as a singer songwriter and Aboriginal Songman. Produced and engineered by Andy Stewart at Mill Studio, the album was predominantly recorded during the 2020 lockdown.

Circling Time is insightful, reflective and deeply moving. Kutcha’s music creates physical and spiritual rhythms that transcend and connects all of us to the universal themes of love, family and country.
