Multi-dimensional artist Ziggy Ramo unveils his eagerly waited new album Human?. Part of a three dimensional project encompassing an album, book and art exhibition, Human? is one of Ziggy’s most important album releases to date, and has been in the works for many years.
Once again, Ziggy is a catalyst for change and a powerful voice for the oppressed, delivering neglected truths to strip back the lies we’ve been sold and recognise the humanity we all share. Human? is an unflinchingly raw call-to-arms, evoking change through education and open dialogue.
I know you won’t know,
What you’re never told
So come one let me show,
Show you that we’ve wronged.
In May, Ziggy released his revered debut non-fiction book of the same name. Praised highly by industry, peers and fans alike, Junkee Media applauded Ziggy’s ability to connect and create important conversations, citing him as “one of Australia’s most important artists”. Winning FBi Album of the Year for both his 2020 debut Black Thoughts and 2023’s Sugar Coated Lies, Ramo continues to floor the industry with his vital and powerful messages, commanding the attention of listeners and commentators around the country. A true visionary, he draws upon his lived experiences to offer a vulnerable insight into the effects of settler colonialism and institutional racism, grappling with what it means to live on stolen land.
Impressed is so proud to present Ziggy Ramo's album, Human?, exclusively on blood red heavyweight vinyl, presented in a deluxe gatefold sleeve. Includes an individually-numbered obi strip and an excerpt from the Human? book.

Praise for Ziggy
“Ziggy Ramo is one of the most important artists in Australia” - Junkee
“(Ziggy Ramo) doesn’t hold back across 11 songs, navigating complex themes such as generational trauma and toxic masculinity, and more broadly reckoning with the inner conscience of our country and ourselves.” - Rolling Stone for Sugar Coated Lies
”Rather than moralising, [Ziggy] encourages conversation. He exposes contradictions within Australia’s
national identity, asking his audience to weigh up the facts and reach their own conclusions.” - GQ Australia
