First Nations artist Sunny Luwe has just released her highly anticipated debut album, ‘Flowers In The Sky’. This debut album has Sunny infusing her playful spirit with blissful soul and a seductive pop allure.
A proud Weilwan woman and pop soul artist, Sunny Luwe has been making waves in the music industry with her enchanting performances and a string of successful singles leading up to the album launch. The five singles leading up to this release have garnered significant support from radio and streaming services, earning placements on prominent playlists like Spotify‘s New Music Friday and Fresh Finds, and maintaining chart-topping positions on AMRAP for an impressive eight consecutive weeks, reaching the coveted #1 spot for three singles.
Now, with her debut album ‘Flowers In The Sky’, Sunny is exuding her positivity and feel-good energy with this stunning collection of songs poised to carve its own place as a classic. It serves as an ode to the remarkable individuals who enrich Sunny‘s life, ultimately championing the freedom to authentically express oneself to the fullest extent. Sunny states: “The album is a thank you to all the beautiful people in our lives, who love us just as we are, so we can bloom like Flowers in the Sky, expressing our truest and fullest nature.”
The album has also proven to be a testament to Sunny‘s dedication to the environment, stepping into the role of custodian and role model – meticulously calculating the carbon generated through the creation of this release and carbon offsetting them through North Queensland Conservation project, Rainforest 4. Going beyond offsetting her own music project, she leads by example, offering a guide to assist fellow musicians in taking similar environmentally conscious steps.
Over the course of a year, the album took shape through recording sessions in both the Gold Coast and New Zealand. Guided by the production expertise of WHARVES’ Matthew Collins, Tim Goodburn, and ARIA-winner Steven Schram, the album presents a refined soundscape that beautifully encapsulates Sunny Luwe‘s artistic vision.
Collaborating with Tim Goodburn from Bignote Studios, Sunny co-produced several tracks, continuing a fruitful partnership that began with her first EP, ‘Into the Deep’. The album’s pinnacle moments were forged in Neil Finn‘s iconic Roundhead Studios in New Zealand, a collaboration that resulted in tracks like Flowers In The Sky, Give A Little Bit Of Your Love, and I Got A Thing For You.
Opening the album is Fly Like A Bird. Co-written with Sally Seltmann, it pays homage to the rhythmic beats of the 60s and 70s, channelling the essence of artists like Nelly Furtado from the 90s. Then Summer Kisses, a collaborative effort with Matt Collins (okmattcollins), envelops listeners in dreamy instrumentation and uplifting melodies, evoking memories of sun-drenched days and carefree moments.
Sunny Luwe‘s vocal prowess shines through in every track, from the soulful Flowers In The Sky to the celebratory Give A Little Bit Of Your Love, showcasing her remarkable ability to infuse genuine emotion and heart into her music.
I Got A Thing For You is a seductive and empowering anthem, while Drive You Wild delivers a funky, sexy groove. On Friday I Drove Into The Lake explores a darker tone, born from a haunting nightmare, and Powerless serves as an emphatic call to action for our planet’s climate crisis.
A standout moment arrives with Piece of Art, a romantic Beatles-esque duet with okmattcollins, followed by the poignant acoustic closer, Made Me Smile, recorded in a single take. Sunny Luwe‘s ability to evoke emotion and capture moments of profound beauty culminates in this heartfelt conclusion.
Sunny Luwe‘s radiant presence on this debut release is sure to make a lasting impression, inspiring audiences to tap into their fullest potential with a compelling call to action for a better world.
