Gavin Fox – “Mandolin Island”

Hey guys, it’s a new week and that means new great and fresh music! Irish singer-songwriter Gavin Fox has released his new single “Mandolin Island”, and it immediately caught my attention. Written during his time on Lopud, a small Croatian island known for its quiet atmosphere and natural beauty, the track comes across as an honest reflection of that experience. When you find out that the island has no cars or roads adds to the sense of escape, and that stillness shapes the song’s character.

The new single is rooted in Americana and folk-rock, with acoustic guitar, mandolin, and soft harmonies shaping the sound. Gavin keeps the arrangement simple and open, which matches the story he’s telling. Listening to it, you can picture the red clay paths, the stone walls, and the view from the church on the hill.

Gavin has been steady this year, with earlier singles like “You Can Lean On Me” and “If You Ask Me To” showing a lot of vulnerability. “Mandolin Island” continues that path, putting the focus on presence and connection.
