British Virgin Islands recording artist Ouida Nisbett-Turnbull is taking love to solar heights with her third single, "Kissing The Sun" releasing today. The Pop friendly and EDM laced track was created by 2x Grammy nominated producer/songwriter Drew "Druski" Scott (Jason Derulo, Red Velvet, Destra Garcia, Nick Jonas, Fantasia, Teyana Taylor). Not afraid to step out of the comforts of Dancehall or traditional R&B, "Kissing The Sun" showcases Ouida's versatility as an artist and vocalist. Philip Richards aka Island Director directed the lyric video for the fiery anthem.
"Your lips feel like I'm kissing the sun," chants the Caribbean breakout star in the fist-pumping chorus. For four minutes, Ouida takes listeners on an audible trek to the sun with tinged piano chords, pattering synths and staggering snares. The song describes an undeniable love so big that it cannot be contained and dares to defy the stars.
"Love is like the sun," says Ouida. "It allows us to grow, to glow and not shrink down into ourselves."
Coming from an island shy of 30,000 residents with hopes of becoming a musical sensation may seem a huge feat to any outsider looking onward but not to Ouida. She welcomes the challenging industry with open arms and bright optimism. It's this refreshing outlook that continues to propel Ouida forward on her journey to becoming a household name.
"Ouida has one of those voices that just cuts through," states Druski. "There isn't any genre she can't command. She's able to paint her story through her voice with an authenticity that you don't find often in music today. One listen and you can tell she's in love."
With love and light illuminating her path Ouida is closer to her dreams than ever. Radiating inside and out, Ouida hopes "Kissing The Sun" leads others to finding their true love.
"I pray that everyone too, would find that special 'sun kinda love'," exclaims Ouida. "Everyone deserves that."
"Kissing The Sun" is available on all streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes and TIDAL.
