Face The Sun
by Fly My Pretties / 2025
Release Notes
Fly My Pretties return with ‘Face The Sun’, a track led by its founder and frontman Barnaby Weir. Taken off the upcoming deluxe re-release of their new album Elemental - The Complete Show, the track sees Barnaby’s folk-based stylings combining with beautiful harmonies from RIIKI REID, Taylah, AJA & TAWAZ.
One of the more laid-back tracks from the album, ‘Face The Sun’ incorporates feelings of modern-day folk and Americana, a side which is familiar and loved by Fly My Pretties fans. The track is grounded in the soulful sounds of the album, but thrown through a folk-inspired lens.
‘Face The Sun’ is the latest taste of the extended version of their latest album Elemental. Released earlier in 2025, the new album was described as “theatrical, skillfully arranged, spirited… with the FMP mark of quality”. The album reached Number 3 on the NZ Album Charts, and was followed by a series of capacity shows in Auckland and Christchurch. The album is a collection of songs dripping in soul and blues, performed by an all-star band and a collection of incredible vocalists. The extended version will feature a number of tracks not included on the initial release.
