Los Angeles-dweller Xelli Island returns with the bubbly stomp of new single ’02 20 20′. The track is the first to be shared from her forthcoming debut EP, set for release later this year!

Following in the wake of recent release ‘Sometimes’, ’02 20 20′ is a further growth in confidence from the Detroit-bred Filipina-Italian. With a knack for catchy melodies and a love of a rich synth tone, woman-behind-the-moniker Lianna Vanicelli strikes a coercive rhythm with her latest outing. It is a reflection on the life choices and whimsical impulses that lead us to our current fates.

“’02 20 20′ was written during a really unique peak of momentum in my life, earlier this year,” explains Vanicelli. “It’s about experiencing serendipity. I was adjusting to a new routine and thinking about the millions of little things that have to work properly in order for anything to happen, (like every tiny part on my car functioning to find a parking spot to get on the train on time, the train running on time to get to work at the restaurant on time for a busy serving shift that is a monster in itself, so that I can make enough money to support myself, so that I can continue to live here and create music, and so on..).

“This mindset becomes even stronger when applied to my close friends and collaborators on this project, and how we all came together at the perfect time,” she remarks. “We continuously lift each other up and it is truly the most beautiful and productive support system.”

’02 20 20′ is available now.
