Burr Island – Alternative Indie Folk duo, from the West Country release new single ‘Your Eyes, My Eyes’.

London born and based acoustic folk duo Burr Island are set to release their latest single, ‘Your Eyes, My Eyes’, on May 10th via Left Foot Records. The track garnered support from UK-based music and fashion magazine CLASH Magazine and airplay BBC 6 Radio’s Cerys. ‘Later’ follows the recent release of their fifth single, ‘Our Home’. The band has received praise from industry giants like Robert Plant and Noel Gallagher. With 250,000 streams across all platforms for their first four releases and their debut album on the way in 2024, the future looks promising for the Burr Island boys.

‘Your Eyes, My Eyes’ is a sweet piano ballad full of feeling, an easy yet poignant listen. The pair offer beautiful lilting vocal lines with warm choral backing vocals straight out of a CSNY album. The track is timeless and tender, an ode to the devotion felt in all of love’s forms.

Burr Island divulged: “This is a love song for anyone who wants it. Whether you’re a grandmother cherishing the time with your young grandchild, friends with an unbreakable bond, star-crossed lovers sinking into each other’s eyes or somebody trying to communicate with the loved one they’ve lost. Like most of our songs, it was written on guitar and it remained a guitar song until the very last minute. We were never fully happy with the old version and felt the song needed a gentler tone. The brilliant Nikolaj Torp Larsen (The Specials) agreed to play piano for the new version and as soon as we heard his performance, we knew it was the one. We feel that sonically it’s added another texture to the album.”

Listen to the track…

Rising pop sensation Pilar Victoria shares a heartfelt single, ‘Headphones’

Texas-based Argentinian singer-songwriter Pilar Victoria unveiled a captivating new single titled ‘Headphones’ on 19 April 2024. Pilar’s multicultural background influences her music, creating a unique blend of soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Posting snippets of her original compositions on TikTok, Pilar Victoria quickly garnered a devoted following, catapulting her into the spotlight. Her breakthrough moment came with her song ‘Wilted Flower’, which went viral on TikTok overnight, amassing millions of views and setting the stage for her meteoric rise in the music industry. Signing with the renowned label Platoon, she released a critically acclaimed EP, collaborating with Grammy-winning producer Rick Nowels, known for his work with icons like Lana Del Rey, Stevie Nicks, Dua Lipa and Marina.

Co-written with Rick Nowels in Santa Monica, ‘Headphones’ seamlessly blends melancholy with upbeat pop sensibilities, capturing the bittersweet essence of heartbreak. Beginning as a sweet piano ballad, it breaks into an upbeat dream pop heartthrob instrumental that Pilar’s angelic vocals soar over.

Pilar Victoria shared: “I wrote this song during a time where I knew I was going to be losing someone and I couldn’t handle it. I wanted to block out all the pain and intense emotions I was feeling. I thought the metaphor of putting headphones on was a cool expression of saying how I wanted to tune out all the noise and what was going on around me. I just wanted to be alone in my thoughts. I think sometimes we all just want to put on headphones.”
