After more than a year of dedicated work, German band Loving the Sun is set to release their highly anticipated EP Journey on June 20, 2025, through the Fuego label in collaboration with Nea Music. The new project marks both a return to the group’s musical roots and a bold step forward in their sonic evolution.

Blending elements of pop, rock, blues, country, and folk, Journey is a genre-spanning collection that highlights the band’s unique ability to create emotional depth and musical color. From heart-wrenching ballads like “Waves of Sorrow” to vibrant, feel-good tracks like “Live in Paradise,” the EP offers a glimpse into the rich musical identity the group has shaped over more than two decades.

“Journey is more than just a title,” says frontman Hakan C. “It reflects the personal and musical paths we’ve taken—how far we’ve come and how we continue to evolve.”

Formed over 25 years ago, Loving the Sun has become known for their heartfelt songwriting and eclectic sound. Their music often feels timeless, yet fresh—tapping into classic influences while offering something distinctly their own. This latest release shows the band at their most mature and confident, with polished production and a compelling mix of moods and melodies.

Meet the Band:

  • Hakan C. – Vocals
  • Joe Weninghoff – Guitar
