Songwriting Maturity Shines On Kiara Rodrigues’ “Ain’t Your Rehab” Single

Following on from Kiara Rodrigues’ radio hits, “High School Reunion” and “Message In A Bottle”, comes “Ain’t Your Rehab” being released Friday 6th October, and sees the award- winning Nash Chambers (Kasey Chambers/Jimmy Barnes/Troy Cassar- Daley) return to the producer’s chair. Chambers again highlights Rodrigues’ continuing growth as a songwriter and an original artist who is carving out her own musical niche.

The song has instantly resonated with her audiences when played live. “I’ve had people come up to me and tell me they’d had this same experience or knew someone in a similar situation”, she says. “Ultimately, it’s not our responsibility to fix somebody, no matter how much we care about them”.

“I wrote this song thinking about how sometimes we go into relationships thinking we can fix someone and put them back together again”, says Rodrigues. “That can often come at the price of our own wellbeing, and its inevitably unachievable”.

Born to immigrant parents of Indian heritage, Kiara Rodrigues fell in love with country music when she moved to North Queensland at the tender age of nine. Over the years, she has become a wildly popular and certified talent within the Australian country music scene. In 2023, she was named a Grand Finalist for the prestigious Toyota Star Maker competition where she wowed the 10,000 strong crowd at the Tamworth Country Music Festival. The single, “High School Reunion”, debuted at #2 on the iTunes Country Singles Chart, scored high rotation on ABC Country and entered the Countrytown Hot 50 Airplay Chart. Kiara Rodrigues has performed across the globe and is a graduate of the CMAA Senior Academy of Country Music.
