"I filmed with Jay Seeney across several locations around Oberon and Bathurst, including many scenes at the Catholic Church in Black Springs," Pye said of the music video for Heaven Can't Wait.
"I was very grateful to have several local families contribute photographs and videos to feature in the video to be able to pay tribute to some of those who inspired the song."
Pye said Heaven Can't Wait meant a lot to her.
"The song is quite a personal reflection on facing loss and grief associated with losing loved ones too soon," she said.
"It took me some time to feel comfortable sharing it as it touches on my own personal experience of going through loss in life.
"I couldn't help but feel when I was writing the song that it reflected how many of us feel when trying to understand loss.
"There are a lot questions we find ourselves asking and I wanted this song to capture those sentiments.
"After writing songs for many years, this was really the one that compelled me to release my own music."
Pye said she felt the song "was one that people could really relate to and take something away from that could in some ways provide comfort".
"There's not many of us who haven't had to go through grief at some stage in our lives after losing a family member or friend," she said.
"I think that grief is often magnified when a young person is taken away too soon, well before their time was up.
"It makes me sad thinking about the enormous hole that leaves in the lives of their family and friends as well as the wider community."
Heaven Can't Wait was recorded at The Vault Studios at Balmain with producer Sean Rudd.
It will be released as a single and music video across radio and all digital platforms on Friday, July 31.
Both singles will be featured on her debut EP set for release in September, featuring five of her own songs.
