Heather Nova releases new single and announces upcoming UK & EU Tour

Heather Nova releases her new single, “In The Path Of Hurricanes” today. The song has a driving sonic landscape reminiscent of The War on Drugs. It's a song about the intoxicating feeling of longing that comes when you feel chemistry with someone, but aren’t sure if it’s all in your head.

 The song is rich in metaphor and imagery from the natural world of her island home, Bermuda - the beauty of a subtropical island that also comes with the reality of often being right in the path of hurricanes. She sings: “I live in the path of hurricanes / following the light / barefoot dancing / drinking the rain”.
 
“In The Path Of Hurricanes” follows the anticipation surrounding Nova’s forthcoming album “THE ORCHARD,” tob e released in October 30th 2026 via V2 Records—her 14th album.

A Journey Back to Hope and Light
 
Heather Nova first broke through in the early 1990s with her international hit “Walk This World,” a song that carried her voice across Europe and North America to Japan and Australia—sparking years of touring around the globe. Since then, she has remained steadfastly committed to writing, recording, and performing, with “THE ORCHARD” standing as a landmark entry in her ongoing creative story.

An album of melodic strength and poetic imagery, THE ORCHARD dives deep emotionally, yet its overriding feeling is one of hope, light, and possibility—exactly what we need in troubled times.

While writing the record, Nova discovered a truth about the power of repetition:
"In the middle of writing this album I realized something - that songs are in fact a form of manifestation. An artist sings their songs over and over while recording, and than every night on tour. Whatever we do on repeat we start to embody, to become. Similar to how mantras are chanted or prayers are recited, that repetition has power. I wanted to be conscious of this element as I wrote..."
She continues: "... still mining the depths of raw emotion and truth... but also being sure to tap into the light, the hope, the sense of possibillity that is awlays there in all of us if we can uncover it. I hope these songs will help others access that hope too."

Heather Nova will bring HER NEW songs to life on stage with an upcoming UK & EU tour in support of “THE ORCHARD”. She will be PlAYINg EnGLAND, BElGIUM, Netherlands, GERMANY, Switzerland, AUSTRIA, SWEDEN, DENMARK AND NORWAY.
