Music News - Ersha Island 二沙岛 Release Two Tracks 'Good Day' and 'Gut Feeling' on 22 February
17 February 2022 - 0 Comments
The release of Good Day and Gut Feeling signifies the embarkment of Ersha Island 二沙岛 on their reflective journey of biculturalism, identity and the inevitable search for belonging amongst it all.
The two tracks will be released as waterfall singles on Tuesday, 22-2-22, with music videos (directed by The Umbrella Collective) premiering at 2:22 PM. The auspicious release date of 22-2-22 is symbolic of Ersha Island 二沙岛’s artistic vision to reflect how their two cultures intertwine and the contrast between their debut singles.
Good Day
Good Day explores complex feelings of vulnerability when, after grappling with our struggles alone, we finally find the courage to reach out for help. The song is a reminder of the impermanence of difficult times and the hopeful road to better days through the acceptance of our limitations and normalising not being ok all the time — themes many listeners can identify with.
Gut Feeling
This soft, melancholy and almost mournful song is a telling dedication from two pained daughters for a father recently diagnosed with cancer. Originally lament-like, during production Gut Feeling instinctively transformed into an exhortation of anger and defiance instead of fear. The resulting song is charged with imposing feelings of dread and unattainable immortality, yet full of hope and unwavering filial love that binds it all together.
