Eddie Witz And The Most High have returned to brighten up late-summer blues with their transcendent new single, ‘My Island’ – a serene fusion of folk, reggae and pop. Blended with chakra-aligning frequencies, this meditative number offers a spiritual successor to Jeff Barry’s iconic ‘Montego Bay’.
The blissful, acoustic ballad traces a sonic journey from Kingston to the sunlit shores of Byron Bay, weaving an island-inspired rhythm and soulful essence. This reimagined joy is not just a melodic hit, it’s a poetic and healing experience.
Barry – celebrated for ‘Montego Bay’ as well as co-writing timeless classics like ‘Be My Baby’ – is evoked in the radiant sound Eddie brings to life, now with a groove-driven, modern twist. Featuring legendary musicians Sly Dunbar on drums, Robbie Lyn on keys and Adam Topol on percussion, this rendition is wrapped in a warm, reflective soundscape that invites full immersion.
Following a harrowing battle with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a rare neurological condition, Witz turned to meditation and energy work to regain mobility. His journey of resilience crafts a story of hope, echoing throughout the track’s deeply contemplative atmosphere.
Blending classic songwriting, heartfelt homage to Australia, and the power of healing through sound,My Islandis a sanctuary of stillness, one we’ll all want to drift toward.
“To me, ‘My Island’ isn’t about a destination – it’s a feeling”, says Witz. “It’s the moment you disconnect from the chaos and return to harmony. Whether that’s on a beach or inside yourself, it’s where healing begins”.
