Fusing roots folk reggae, cinematic soundscapes, and chakra-aligning frequencies, Eddie Witz and The Most High return with “My Island”—a transcendent reimagining that stands as both a spiritual journey and a healing experience. More than just a single, this release is a meditation on life, love, and the timeless power of music to reconnect us with what matters.
Part reggae meditation, part sonic pilgrimage, “My Island” carries the listener from Kingston to Byron Bay, weaving island rhythms with Solfeggio frequencies tuned to the body’s seven chakras. The result is both grounding and elevating, a soundscape that feels designed for reflection as much as for movement. It’s a song that doesn’t just play—it breathes.
The track’s origins are steeped in history. Originally co-written by legendary songwriter Jeff Barry—responsible for classics like “Be My Baby” and “River Deep – Mountain High”—“My Island” was envisioned as a modern-day escape rooted in joy and sunshine. Grammy-winning Jamaican producers Native Wayne and Brian Jobson, along with Barry, passed the torch to Witz, who has infused the song with fresh soul and spiritual intention. Featuring contributions from Jamaican greats Sly Dunbar on drums, Robbie Lyn on keys, and Adam Topol on percussion, the song blends heritage with renewal.
Witz’s warm, poetic vocals anchor the track. His delivery isn’t flashy, but deeply felt—imbued with resilience from his personal story. After being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which caused paralysis on the right side of his face and head, Witz faced silence and hardship. Through natural wellness, meditation, and discipline, he recovered, and that sense of rebirth pulses through every note of “My Island.”
The definitive version of the track is layered with chakra-focused frequencies, making it more than music—it’s an invitation to tune inward. The production allows space for stillness while carrying a rich groove, striking a balance between meditative sound and reggae roots. Whether you close your eyes and sink into its textures, or let the rhythm move you, the song resonates on multiple levels.
What makes “My Island” particularly special is its metaphorical reach. As Witz explains, it isn’t just about a physical place. It represents a return to presence, family, and connection—a reminder that the true treasures of life lie not in possessions but in shared love and lived experience. In an age where distractions dominate, this message feels both timely and necessary.
Beyond the single, “My Island” also points to the larger journey Witz is on. His upcoming debut album, I Am What I Am (due July 5, 2024), continues exploring themes of resilience, forgiveness, and transformation. Drawing inspiration from artists like Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, and John Butler, Witz crafts a sound that feels both familiar and uniquely his own—rooted in healing and authenticity.
Ultimately, “My Island” is not just a song to hear, but one to experience. It blends cultural legacy, personal triumph, and spiritual depth into a track that uplifts while grounding the listener. By honoring Jeff Barry’s vision while expanding it into a modern, meditative journey, Eddie Witz and The Most High have created something timeless—an island of sound that listeners can return to again and again.
