The latest single release from Ilka de Gast entitled Wishing Song serves as the lead single for her forthcoming children's meditation album, a project that focuses on safety and confidence for younger listeners, however, its profound sense of calm offers universal appeal.
Originally from the Netherlands and now based in California, de Gast brings a unique multidisciplinary perspective to her art as a singer-songwriter, sound healer, and licensed psychologist. For this release, she once again collaborates with award-winning multi-instrumentalist Tommy Graven.
"Wishing Song" opens with the rhythmic sounds of the ocean, layered with melodic vocals and a drumbeat designed to mimic a steady heartbeat. Complemented by a soft acoustic guitar, the track then transitions into a brief guided meditation. This segment encourages listeners to practice gratitude and serves as a powerful reminder of self-worth—a message that is often overlooked in daily life.
This track is a standout addition to de Gast's growing discography. Her work continues to resonate deeply, and this single is poised to become a staple for listeners of all ages. Incorporating "Wishing Song" into a daily ritual provides a meaningful opportunity to pause and reflect on one's inherent value.
