The Engagement Deliver Breakup Anthem with New Single ‘Closure’ ft. Kaiyah Mercedes

Melbourne alt pop rock outfit The Engagement have returned with force, releasing their emotionally charged new single 'Closure', a thunderous duet with rising LGBTQIA+ artist Kaiyah Mercedes. Dark, cinematic, and heartbreakingly honest, 'Closure' unpacks the emotional fallout of a fractured friendship, offering a solace for anyone who's ever had to let go to move forward.

Lifted from their long anticipated EP 'Shattered Illusion', 'Closure' is a high impact release layered with cathartic vocals and anthemic instrumentals. Mercedes’ haunting voice cuts deep, weaving perfectly with The Engagement’s signature wall of sound style. The result is a track that hits like a breakup and a breakdown, wrapped in polished, alt pop firepower.

The band, already racking up over 1 million Spotify streams, have been praised for their live energy, often compared to My Chemical Romance and Imagine Dragons. With support from outlets like MTV, Triple J, and Fox FM, they continue to carve their own space in Australia’s indie scene.

Accompanying the single is a psychological thriller inspired music video, dripping with atmosphere and emotional tension. It’s a visual that matches the raw vulnerability of the track and further cements the band’s flair for storytelling.

With upcoming shows like their headlining spot at Luna Pride on June 28th, The Engagement they’re a movement in the scene.
