Winona Oak shares new single 'Island Of The Sun'

Following a wealth of enticing offerings throughout last year, Winona Oak has now returned to deliver a brand new single.

The new track 'Island Of The Sun' was produced by Chris Lyon (Rina Sawayama) and Valley Girl (Dua Lipa, Caroline Polachek), and is set to feature on her forthcoming debut album, also called 'Island Of The Sun', arriving later this year.

Speaking about the new track, she said, “This song was created on a sunny evening in Los Angeles when I was going through a really tough time and felt more homesick than ever. I grew up on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 5360 miles from LA in the middle of the Nordic forests of Sweden on a small island called Solens ö, a.k.a. Island of the Sun. The island works as a metaphor for a place when everything’s peaceful and simple. Like that time in your childhood when the world is only as big and beautiful as you make it, you know as we grow older we tend to complicate things. I want the island to represent a happy place in ourselves or in a relationship, a bittersweet yearning for a place we ache to go again.”
