A Melody Born From Recovery

“Here I Am Meant To Be” feels like a deeply personal piece of music shaped by resilience, reflection, and a genuine love for songwriting. New Sunday, the Icelandic studio project founded by Einar Askelsson, turns an extraordinary personal journey into something warm, melodic, and quietly uplifting. Released on September 14, 2026, the track is the fourth single from the project and further develops the sound introduced in earlier releases.

What makes the song particularly compelling is the way New Sunday approaches songwriting. Einar begins with words and stories, often drawing from poems and experiences accumulated over the years, before building the musical world around them. Rather than allowing elaborate arrangements to overshadow the emotion, he has embraced a “less is more” philosophy, giving melody an important role in carrying the feeling of each song.

Lizzie’s vocals bring another dimension to that foundation, while producer Simon helps shape the final production. Their collaboration is especially fascinating because the three members have never met in person, yet their creative communication has developed into a genuine musical partnership.

There is a sense of quiet determination running through “Here I Am Meant To Be.” It doesn’t simply present a song; it reflects a songwriter discovering purpose through creativity and gradually turning difficult experiences into art. New Sunday’s latest release is intimate, sincere, and beautifully reflective—a reminder of how music can grow from unexpected beginnings into something meaningful.
