The worsening war on Gaza in 2021 inspired Laurence DaNova’s new single, “This Island,” which finds the artist creating a sonic place of refuge from the chaos of the world.
Heavily influenced by 80s and 90s pop, along with soul and trip hop, “This Island” is a dreamy, chaotic and dynamic search for a sense of peace.
It’s a reminder that we are all human and want the same thing at the end of the day.
“This Island” is an enthralling yet intimate song which creates a space for listeners to reflect.
