BEDROOM-pop newcomers Wynona have shared their second single ‘Real World’.
Previously living in Osaka, Japan, the pair made up of Natalie and Rich uprooted their plans due to the impact of the pandemic and decamped to a new base in the Lake District – where they lived in a friend’s 19th-century country hotel.
“We had little on us, other than a change of clothes, a guitar and there was an antique grand piano in the hotel’s music room. Looking out over the snow-covered hills that surrounded us, and wandering the empty hotel at night, it really felt like something from The Shining,” shares Natalie.
Their new single is underpinned by this bubbling sense of drive and determination as they celebrate contradictions, individuality and uniqueness. It’s a huge, throwback pop bop with a late 90s feel – anthemic, honest and effortlessly catchy.
Natalie continues, “On ‘Real World’ I’m celebrating all aspects of my personality, even though they can sometimes conflict and contradict one another.
“We all struggle with identity and authenticity, especially at a time when we put ourselves on display for all to see and for others to judge. This song is for anyone who feels like they don’t fit into any perfect mould; it is okay to be anything, all things and nothing all at once.”
