Kestrel has recently released her new single, Apricot Sunshine, which is a shimmering dive into retro-futuristic pop.
Rooted in nu-disco and synthwave, the track blends moody synth riffs with uplifting major-key progressions, evoking a sense of longing and light. Drawing on imagined memories of 1980s Miami, Kestrel crafts a sonic daydream that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking.
Her emotive vocals glide over lush keys and groove-heavy production by Ben King, creating a soundscape that’s cinematic yet deeply personal. Kestrel, the Isle of Man-based artist Naomi Haworth, writes, sings, and plays on all her work—infusing each release with heartfelt honesty and polished musicianship.
With Apricot Sunshine, Naomi offers a glimpse into a world where melody meets memory, and where every synth line carries a story. Check out the single below.
