New Music Review - ‘Chasing Sunsets’ by SOJØURN
SOJØURN always have the best art for their covers - a smashing piece by Gwil.
Welcome to your new musical obsession of 2022!
Chasing Sunsets is the fresh off-the-radar tune by my pals from Mangawhai, SOJØURN, released yesterday and has become the highlight of my entire week and is the best song that has come out of 2022 thus far.
Chasing Sunsets offers up those tasty, sun shining vibes that they are all about, infused with their psyche-reggae pops of inspiration that have been carefully put together with the help of Connor Jaine from Mako Road who helped with production.
Quickly becoming one of my favourite bands, I find it hard to dislike any music that SOJØURN put out, every time they send out a release, it is next level top notch and Chasing Sunsets really proves that with how easy it is to be able to catch onto it. The SOJØURN guys tend to give you those inevitable positive feels through their juicy, light tunes that will have you up and dancing in the warmth of nature.
Chasing Sunsets literally makes me want to do what the song talks about - jump in my car with a bunch of blankets, some friends and take off on an epic road trip of Aotearoa, seeing all the sunsets that the country has to offer, with SOJØURN blasting through the speakers the entire trip (which will, of course, make me their top listener of 2022, surely).
There are no hurdles or boundaries while listening to Chasing Sunsets, it just flows so seamlessly, like the most beautiful waterfall you’ve seen, allowing you to forget everything for a few minutes and breathe in the freshness of the air and their music. Marvellous.
SOJØURN have this epic, magic aura about them that they send out and slightly off topic, I found this during the interview with them late last year (which you can read here!). It shines through in all of the tunes they take the time to work on and release. It’s hard not to enjoy this song - I’ve found myself just singing it non-stop since the release and it’s on constant repeat in my mind and on Spotify, which is no surprise.
If you want to have a good weekend, I would advise you to jump in your car and make sure that this is the first song that is on your playlist. Heck. Even the only song on your playlist because honestly, this track deserves to be heard by everyone in the world, including all the grandparents out there, your animals, etc. Just let every person you know that they need to hear this glorious tune that will have them absolutely thriving for the entire year. Fun!
