Hi Tide Drops Irresistible Single ‘Island in The Sun’ Now on High Rotation on American 21 Radio
We are thrilled to announce that the incredible new single “Island in The Sun” by Hi Tide is now featured on our prestigious Daily A-List Playlist. Tune in to catch this uplifting gem day and night, as it will also receive special POWERPLAY status at 5:45 PM Eastern USA time, every day for the next month.
This Caribbean/Pop ear candy was crafted by Tommy Lee James, Davis Naish, and Deanna Walker, and brought to life by Hi Tide, with Roger Alan Nichols handling production, engineering, and mixing, and Richard Dodd mastering.
“Island in The Sun” is a three-minute and twelve-second journey of hook-driven, beat-friendly, instant appeal, culminating in an outro that leaves you eager for another listen. This anthem resonates with anyone who has ever wandered the rainy streets of a city, dreaming of a sunny day, a “blue sky revolution,” and a “kiss that makes you happy drunk”.
Brightly uniting the heartfelt and the skilful, acclaimed acoustic duo Hi Tide deliver a uniquely tropical take on modern folk pop, and do so with grace and precision at the helm. Backed by twelve full-length studio albums, with five built exclusively from original songs – plus three Christmas Collections – Hi Tide are far from strangers to the scene. Their journey has led them to amass thousands of monthly listeners, and find themselves in the international charts for multiple singles.
Comprised of Shane Allenger and Sean Hennings, the creative duo Hi Tide have become renowned across the Cayman Islands and the global space at large for their colourful fusion of catchy classics and contemporary pop gems. Infectious song choices, softly expressive vocals and an uplifting energy on the stage has carved out a noteworthy reputation – and earned valued support from commercial radio and popular music blogs along the way.
Forever balancing a keen audience awareness with evocative and engaging musicianship, the band’s cover of Bob Marley’s ‘Waiting In Vain’ was released on an Italian Compilation album, and both their originals and covers have received extensive airplay on Satellite Radio – not least of all on Kenny Chesney’s ‘No Shoes Radio’, Sirius XM (Ch. 59).
As of 2023, the duo released their latest folk-pop single ‘Island In The Sun’, alongside a DVD/CD set entitled ‘The Studio Center Sessions’. Their expansive catalogue continues to be celebrated on Cayman Islands radio, and with their performance history spanning from mainland USA to Hawaii, Canada, Europe, South America and the Caribbean, including everything from private gigs and events to mini-tours and festivals, they continue to showcase a fearless devotion to the craft.
Hi Tide’s combination of passion and work ethic sees them consistently make time for writing, recording, and booking new shows, and as their audience reach expands, their passion for the process only grows stronger.
