The song is the second preview of the Welsh musician and producer’s fourth studio album, ‘Dreamstate’, which is out on October 18 via dh2 – the electronic imprint spearheaded by George Daniel via The 1975’s label, Dirty Hit.
‘Sunshine’ – a dazzling and optimistic summer dance track – follows on from Owen’s recent single ‘Love You Got’.
The tune comes with details of the artist’s upcoming headline dates in the UK and Europe this autumn. Kicking off in Berlin on October 29, the trek includes stops in Rotterdam (October 31), Brussels (November 1) and Paris (2) before Owens heads over to the UK and Ireland.
She is due to take to the stage in Dublin (4), Belfast (6), Glasgow (8), Leeds (9), Manchester (11), Cardiff (13), London (14), Bristol (15) and Brighton (16).

‘Dreamstate’ also features producer-writer credits from the likes of Bicep‘s Andrew Ferguson and Matthew McBriar, The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands, and The 1975‘s Daniel.
Per a press release, the new record was inspired by Owens’ “inner evolution” and collaborative spirit: “It’s the sound of a person letting loose and letting go while encouraging everyone else to do the same.”
The producer and musician played a DJ on the Levels stage at Glastonbury Festival 2024 in June, ahead of Charli XCX’s ‘Partygirl’ slot at the venue. She also appeared at Charli’s takeover at Ibiza’s historic Amnesia nightclub with Boiler Room, and at the dh2 launch party in London.
Last year, Owens earned the praise of Depeche Mode, who she supported on the North American leg of their 2023 ‘Memento Mori’ world tour.
