Melbourne-based singer-songwriter and pianist Caddy Callaghan shares “Wait A Minute,” a dramatic and tender new single from her debut solo album ‘There You Are,’ out now. The track captures the ache of longing for a love that feels destined yet impossible. It is heart-wrenching and fearless, built on emotional honesty and classic pop-rock craft.
Written and performed by Callaghan, the song was recorded and produced in Nashville by Rick Price. Soulful vocals lead the way, unfolding over echoing, nostalgic instrumentation. A soaring guitar solo from Mark Punch answers her voice like a second narrator. The result is cinematic and deeply felt, grounded in real instruments and timeless production.
“For me, songwriting is mostly like a journal entry with rhythm, rhyme and metre. I write from a heart state. It’s deeply personal, vulnerable and cathartic,” Callaghan says. That openness defines “Wait A Minute.” Every line carries weight. The emotion is front and centre, delivered with warmth and melodic strength.
A songwriter for more than three decades, Callaghan has earned an Australian Songwriters Association Award, national ABC radio support and mentorship through Tuesday Night Song Club led by Mark Seymour, Liz Stringer and Charles Jenkins. Balancing motherhood, independent artistry and running Cadwyn Clare Records, she channels resilience and faith into ‘There You Are.’ This is heartfelt pop-rock storytelling at full emotional scale.
