Luna Li has shared her new single ‘Golden Hour’, inspired by spending a rainy afternoon in a meadow

Luna Li has unveiled her latest single ‘Golden Hour’.

It’s the newest offering from her forthcoming album ‘When a Thought Grows Wings’, set for release on 23rd August via In Real Life/AWAL.

The track showcases Li’s introspective songwriting, blending dreamy piano melodies with her mesmerising vocals and exploring themes of nostalgia and vulnerability, capturing the delicate experience of opening up to new love.

Reflecting on the track, she shares, “I wanted this song to feel soft and sensual, while also peeking into a psychedelic world. Golden Hour tells the story of an afternoon I spent with someone a couple of years ago in a meadow sitting six feet apart, drenched in rain water and uncertainty, but having a wonderful time experiencing a slow descent into love.”

The accompanying music video, directed by Issac Roberts, draws inspiration from the surrealist aesthetics of 1920s cinema, visually representing the yearning and nostalgia associated with romantic love.

In support of the new album, Li will embark on a headlining North American tour this fall, with performances scheduled across the United States and Canada.
