We recently had the incredible opportunity to check out the new single “Islands”, from Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Ski Team.

Sometimes music is so beautiful and perfect that it can literally take your breath away , this is absolutely the case with “Islands” from singer-songwriter Ski Team. The stunning layered song is a lush hymn and the counterpart to her previous single “Me“.

Ski Team is the solo moniker of Lucie Lozinski, an independent songwriter, singer, producer, and guitarist who’s known for her yearning lyrics, crystalline voice, and gritty instrumentation. American Songwriter has described her music as “… a quasi-Americana sound, combining traditional folk and rock elements with undeniably modern soundscapes.”

She shares, “I wrote “Islands” while producing “Me”—the bass sounded like crickets, and I started looping it and singing over it. The improvised melody and harmony had something so sweet and somber about it. Then we just rapid fire layered harmonies, all unplanned, just whatever I felt like singing. I think that improvised spirit of listening and just doing what feels right—whatever comes out—is what makes this song so special. There was very little planning and designing it. I just sang a song from the soul into the mic, and you can feel that.” 

Besides the beautiful harmonies on “Islands” what stood out to us was the brilliant use of subtle ambient noise on the track that added such a wonderful dimension to an already stellar song .

Ski Team collaborated with producer Daniel Knowles (Sharon Van Etten, Cigarettes After Sex) on the new single.

A song like “Islands” from Ski Team , is exactly why we fell in love with music to begin with. – Bravo
