one far sun Delivers Masterful Tune ‘hello old friend’
With a completely new look and sound, one far sun, the captivating all-female band based in the UK, is back on the scene, rekindling their love with gritty guitars, grand dramatic strings, and lush vocal harmonies. Their amazing return, which follows a ten-year break, heralds a new and thrilling chapter in their musical journey, one that is sure to win over hearts and stir souls once again.
In 2012, one far sun bid adieu to the stage and the little theatres of their Australian upbringing, embarking on international travel, exploring a range of careers, and embracing parenting. But a chance encounter prompted by the cosiness of red wine, the nostalgia of old albums, and reflective, late-night conversations about the powerful and unadulterated joy of creativity revived their love. Motivated by these priceless recollections, the trio decided to pick up their musical endeavours again, launching an exciting new chapter.
Returning with their latest offering ‘hello old friend’, one far sun is showcasing their craft in a stronger style than ever before. With a strong vocal performance enhanced by melodic layers, the track combines the raw guitars with the distinct, melancholic tones of a solo cello and the expressive pull of violins, all supported by deep electronic sub-bass textures and elaborate sonic flourishes, over an alt-pop and folk production.
“‘hello old friend’ is our love song to Australia, capturing the bittersweet bond between ex-pats and their homeland. With soaring vocal harmonies and haunting cello, ‘hello old friend’ reflects the complexities of leaving behind a once cherished relationship. We hope it resonates with anyone who has felt the tug of war between longing and liberation.”
Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
