NEW SINGLE: Thorne Single 'Honey' + Single Launch Show

Thorne releases celebration of queer joy with dreamy, flirtatious single and video ‘Honey’
+ Shotkickers launch Saturday 21 June

The celebration of queer joy you didn’t know you were waiting for, Guyanese-Australian artist Thorne is releasing a sexy pop-RnB single ‘Honey’ on Wednesday 21 May, celebrating with a hometown launch show on Saturday 21 June at Shotkickers.

Introducing a new musical direction for Thorne, ‘Honey’ is the first taste of a bigger body of work on the horizon; a feel-good feel-yourself anthem designed to turn the heat up and set the mood just right. Artfully teasing the audience both on and off screen, the single is accompanied by a video, as steamy and suggestive as it is dreamy.

Playful, flirty, and dripping with confidence, ‘Honey’ is the soundtrack for locking eyes across the room, laughing a little too loud, and knowing you look damn good while doing it. With playful, spicy lyrics, a flirtatious beat, and some very thinly veiled analogies, “Honey” is all about finding sweetness in the chaos and embracing the freedom to be exactly who you are — fierce, confident, and deliciously yourself.

‘I want people to feel unstoppable when they hear Honey — like they’ve lived through the storm and come out hotter, louder, and impossible to ignore.’ - Thorne

Watch 'Honey' Video 

Set in a dreamy, sweat-soaked getaway, the video was directed by Zoe Robinson, produced alongside Andrea Ward at Checklist Productions. Queer, playful, and unapologetically sensual, the video features towel-draped teasing, honey-drizzled ice cream, flirty snapshots in bed with a boy, and a house party buzzing with fans, food, and chosen family. ‘We were originally meant to film at my dad’s place—until he read the script and said it was too sexy. So we rented an Airbnb, shot it all in a whirlwind night and day, and honestly, it turned out better. The whole process brought me and my friends even closer—it’s silly, it's steamy, and it’s exactly the delicious kind of queer joy ‘Honey’ is all about.’ - Thorne

Known in the Naarm music scene as a prolific vocalist with a penchant for writing melodies that make you grind your hips and lick your lips, Thorne’s live show is the inevitable answer to the timeless question “what are you doing tonight?”. Consistently delivering a good time filled with addictive beats and soulful yet spicy lyrics, every audience becomes a willing moth to Thorne’s flame. A proud member of the Naarm queer community, his songs are laden with validation and celebration of love, lust, and empowerment. Following in the footsteps of musical greats such as Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, and Jill Scott, and reincarnating iconic sounds from 90s + 2000s RnB, Thorne is both honouring his roots while shaping his unique path ahead.

Dive into the sweet rebellion on ‘Honey’ - Thorne’s reminder to laugh too hard, dance too wild, love too deeply, and flirt shamelessly with the world.
