one far sun Delivers Masterful Tune ‘hello old friend’

Published

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.”

Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!

Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.

First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
