Acclaimed singer-songwriter Chelsea King unveils a new dimension of her artistry with Minneola, a project that embraces a softer, more introspective sound. Following the success of their debut release, Minneola returns with their second single, “Echo In The Heavens,” available now. This deeply personal and ethereal love song captures the moment King realized she was in love with her partner, Dawson, offering a poignant reflection on love and connection.
“Echo In The Heavens” captures love as a lightning bolt—sudden, electric, and undeniable. The song vividly describes that pivotal moment on a Tennessee highway when everything changed instantly. Sonically, it contrasts King’s solo work—known for channeling raw feminine rage—by embracing a different kind of power: soft yet fearless, delicate yet profound.
“The music I create with Minneola is a space for my more delicate, feminine-leaning songs,” says King. “Where my solo project allows me to release feminine rage, Minneola is the other side of that coin—a place for love, vulnerability, and nostalgia.”
As the song unfolds, listeners are transported into King’s exact moment of realization—a quiet drive through Tennessee’s rolling hills, a glance exchanged, and the sudden, electrifying certainty of love.
We’re a long way from any sign of life
This freeway’s been messing with my mind
I look in your eyesWe’re not in Kansas anymoreAnd in the window, I see my own reflection
I know exactly what I’m getting myself into
I feel it when I’m with youIt hit me on the highway while I was driving
Through the hills in Tennessee
Breaking up the silence, you turn my way
Riding in the passenger seatAn echo in the heavens
You keep me guessing
Waiting on another sign
Suddenly it struck me just like lightning
And I’ve never felt so alive
I want to call you mine
Minneola’s latest release blends folk-infused melodies with rich, atmospheric production, creating an intimate and expansive sonic experience. The song’s lush instrumentation and heartfelt lyricism make for a deeply immersive listening experience that resonates with newfound love’s electricity.
“Echo In The Heavens” will be available on all major streaming platforms on March 21. Follow Chelsea King and Minneola on social media for updates, behind-the-scenes content, and future releases.
