Summary

Alice Skye and Emily Wurramara are part of a new generation of Indigenous artists. When Kutcha joins Alice and Emily for Episode 3 of Kutcha's Carpool Koorioke, singing Alice's hit song 'Friends With Feelings', we know that music can transcend generations.

But some things don't, such as Kutcha's understanding of texting and social media lingo, 'LOL, JK I don't get it'. A quick lesson in social media from Alice and Emily sets Kutcha on his way.

Alice speaks about her first song being inspired by her country and her late father, whose presence she feels when she sings.

Emily talks about singing in her language and how her ancestors' spirits are with her, empowering her as a singer songwriter.

Songs: 1. Friends with Feelings (Alice Skye) -- 2. Lady Blue (Emily Wurramara) -- 3. Get Back Up Again (Kutcha Edwards) -- 4. Time Is All I Have (Kutcha Edwards)
