Australian musician and visual artist Morgan Joanel is bolding entering a new stage of her career that some might call a second chance. Not long ago a comeback such as this all seemed like an impossible dream after sustaining grievous body harm from a hit-and-run accident she
was involved in.
With her new single “Undone” set to be released next week when she joins UK’s Newton Faulkner on his Australian tour, Morgan is taking her live-looping show back on the road. Morgan has been on the music scene since the 2010’s but is now breaking through in a way she never
has before. The Perth-born singer-songwriter, who has been described as the embodiment of Stevie Nicks and Jim Morrisons’s love child, will be releasing “Undone” on Thursday, April 9, 2026; a song that is already a favourite among those who see her live. She describes her new single as a double-edged sword about love, and how we don’t often accept how powerful a weapon it is, having the power to both heal and destroy.
““Undone” is about the masks we wear, the dance between seduction and threat,” says Morgan. “The first time I ever played it was on stage was opening for Anne-Marie, so it had a big bang of a first performance! Of all my songs, “Undone” has had the longest road from writing it to a recorded release. But I think that’s the point. I wasn’t ready to release it until I could stand inside it properly and from a place of power. Now I can.”
She will be taking “Undone” and her alt-Americana music known for its story-telling quality on the road when she supports Newton Faulkner this April on his tour across the country, with the first stop being Sydney on Friday, April 10, 2026. This will be the second time she has supported him and is thrilled to be doing so. Morgan first rose to public consciousness when she was signed by Sony Music Australia in 2011. She released her debut single “Devil’s in The Detail” and EP “Borrowed & Blue” while signed with the label and opened for Adam Lambert and Jason Derulo on their Australian tours.
By 2019, she had embarked on her journey as an independent artist and while performing in Perth was discovered by UK superstar Anne-Marie who invited Morgan to open for her show the next night. In 2021, Morgan’s was forced into a hiatus when the Uber she was in was slammed by a hit-and-run driver, leaving her with 13 broken bones, a brain bleed, and a wheelchair she was told she might be stuck in. Like any true rebellious spirit, she rejected what doctors told her and rose from the wreckage stronger and more ready than ever to reclaim every stage she ever stepped foot on. Since her return to the studio and stage, Morgan produced new music and supported Pete Murray, The Superjesus, Josh Pyke and Rob Mills.
And music is just one part of her creative arsenal. As a fashion designer, her collections have been stocked in over 200 boutiques, including Myer, and she pioneered the first major-label music download bundled with a fashion line. Her jewelry has adorned models and celebrities alike. Her face has even appeared on t-shirts printed by ZARA and sold worldwide. Morgan Joanel’s momentum has never been stronger, and this is only the beginning.
“Undone” will be available on all streaming platforms from Thursday, April 9, 2026.
