Newsletter - July 2025


Gwenno will be hosting an exclusive listening party of her fourth, trilingual album 'Utopia' on the eve of its release - TONIGHT! Come celebrate the new album with Gwenno and Rhys Edwards (Producer) as we listen to it together and react in real time. We'll be sharing the inspiration behind each song and how we recorded them, any production questions that you may have too - this is our opportunity to have a chat about it! 🖤


This Friday, 11th July, Gwenno releases her hugely anticipated and already highly acclaimed new album Utopia via Heavenly Recordings. Following the singles “Dancing On Volcanoes”, “War” and “Y Gath”, today Gwenno shares a ravishing video for the album’s gorgeous and dreamlike title track. “Utopia” paints a picture of someone living their life against the rapidly fading colours of Las Vegas. That story is sung over an ever-evolving groove that sounds like a Philly Soul band taking Moon Safari on an exciting new journey into the cosmos. The accompanying video, shot “Casino”-style on location in Las Vegas by Claire Marie Bailey, can be viewed HERE. 🖤

“Lush, textured and cinematic, this is Gwenno’s best record by some distance.” NARC – 9/10

“An eclectic yet assured record... ‘Dancing On Volcanoes’ is melodic and infectious while tracks like ‘War’ are sparse, moody and dripping in eerie atmosphere.” Uncut – 8/10

“A reflective journey from an artist who proves that her music knows no boundaries.” MusicOMH – 4 stars ****

“On her fourth album, Gwenno channels all of her rich, wild and wonderful life experiences into a triumphant new avenue of songwriting.” Aesthetica
