To celebrate, the duo also shares the first single from the record, “Thunderstorm” featuring DL of Bad Wolves. The cinematic track begins with a soft piano and crescendos with a powerful, anthemic chorus, mimicking the highs and lows that you experience after a breakup and reminding us that the thunderous storm raging within shall pass and the sun will shine again. Listen to “Thunderstorm (Feat. DL of Bad Wolves)” now HERE. 

Speaking on the track, Sonya & Giona share, “‘Thunderstorm' is the aftermath of a breakup. It feels as though your entire universe is crumbling, shedding tears in tandem with your shattered world. Every wound has been brutally ripped wide open and left to bleed. You & I really tried to make this work, we lived despite our brevity and burned with fervor before flickering out. We were broken from the start, we knew it would have never worked. Still, we clung to each other and made eternal promises. Yet here I stand amidst a thunderstorm – drenched, with my spirit shattered. Why did we do this to each other? Strangely, I'm unafraid of the thunderstorm, however agonizing it may be. Let it roar and rumble, let the lightning strike, for we will weather this storm, and this is not our final chapter.”
