Sunny Luwe Drops Feel-Good Single 'Blue Skies' And Announces Sophomore Album
Three-time QLD Music Award finalist Sunny Luwe is back, announcing her sophomore album 'Feeling Good' along with 'Blue Skies', a radiant new single that celebrates the liberating joy of creating art for its own sake.
Blending R&B, pop, soul, and country, the track offers a refreshing soundscape of optimism, lightness, and authenticity, marking a powerful moment of artistic realignment for the Gold Coast-based artist.
The song was born from a personal turning point. Following the release of her debut album, Sunny found herself facing burnout, creatively and emotionally exhausted.
“I realised I had started chasing external gratification from likes, streams, validation, rather than staying connected to why I create music in the first place,” she explains. 'Blue Skies' became the soundtrack to her healing: a musical release of expectations, a return to joy, and creative freedom.
Originally penned as part of The Club in I Heart Songwriting Club, the track reflects the raw, intuitive energy that the songwriting group fosters. Sunny has since completed three consecutive terms in the program, using it as a space to rekindle her love for songwriting and push herself creatively.
The song later evolved and was produced in collaboration with Matthew Collins of Puppy Palace Studios, a long-time creative partner whose production brings warmth, depth, and playful energy to the track. Together, they honed the sound into a rich, genre-fusing groove that uplifts and inspires.
The accompanying music video, created with award-winning videographer Alisha Todd, adds a vibrant visual expression to the track’s central theme: letting go and embracing the moment. The project was supported by the City of Gold Coast’s Professional Placement Program, offering an opportunity for two celebrated Gold Coast artists to collaborate and bring their shared creative vision to life.
The release of ‘Blue Skies’ also marks the official announcement of Sunny Luwe’s forthcoming album 'Feeling Good', set for release on Friday, October 10. The record captures a new chapter for Sunny, one defined by creative renewal, self-trust, and a return to making music that feels good in the soul.
With 'Blue Skies', Sunny Luwe reminds us that joy can be a radical act, and that the truest measure of success is how art makes us feel.
