IONA SKY drops new track “Locked The Door”
In the heart of Cambridgeshire, England, a musical revolution is brewing, spearheaded by none other than IONA SKY. This Anglo-American indie pop-rock band, formed in 2023, is on a mission to redefine the sound of contemporary music with their captivating blend of pop, country, and indie-rock influences.
Comprising lead vocalist Anna-Sophia Henry, vocalist/guitarist/keys James Malone, lead guitarist Simon Jupp, bassist Matt Worthington, and drummer Scott ‘the Dark Lord’ Wilson, IONA SKY is a collective of musicians united by their passion for storytelling and good music.
Their journey began with a bang, as they made their official debut as the opening act for an American Air Force July 4th gig, sharing the stage with headliners X Ambassadors. Since then, IONA SKY has continued to captivate audiences with their infectious energy and heartfelt lyricism, culminating in the release of their debut EP, ‘Homeschooled’, in March 2024.
“Locked The Door” is taken from the said EP and encapsulates the bittersweet essence of love’s demise, navigating through the complexities of guilt, justification, and ultimate surrender. It stands as the perfect preview of IONA SKY’s sound.
As they embark on a UK/Ireland tour to promote ‘Homeschooled’ and grace the stages of prominent festivals, including Equinox, Strawberry Fair, and St. Ives Music Festival, IONA SKY remains steadfast in their commitment to making music that speaks to the soul and sounds great.
Felece Tillman’s debut EP, SoulFul Tales, is a sophisticated and heartfelt offering that establishes her as an artist of remarkable depth and versatility. Across five tracks, Tillman blends the timeless allure of jazz, the smooth grooves of R&B, and the sultry charm of Latin rhythms into an auditory experience that feels like an intimate conversation. From the tender nostalgia of “I Can’t Forget” to the soulful reflection of “Push Me Away”, each song unfolds as a chapter in her life story, weaving themes of first love, heartache, and emotional growth. Produced by DaMone Arnold, the EP’s lush instrumentation adds texture and warmth, complementing Tillman’s deeply emotive vocals.
What sets SoulFul Tales apart is Tillman’s ability to translate universal experiences into deeply personal narratives. Her lyrics feel lived-in, capturing the intricacies of human relationships with poetic precision. Tracks like “Just When I Thought” resonate with hope and renewal, while the melancholic undertones of “Push Me Away” evoke the complexities of letting go. The production’s organic feel, rooted in live instruments and detailed arrangements, creates a timeless soundscape that invites listeners to linger. With this debut, Felece Tillman doesn’t just showcase her talent – she opens a window into her soul, making SoulFul Tales an essential listen for fans of honest, heartfelt music.
