Empire of the Sun’s “Changes” Marks Their First New Solo Release in Five Years

Out now on Capitol Records, “Changes” is a triumphant return to new music for Empire of the Sun.


Empire of the Sun is a legendary group that transcends genres to create a one-of-a-kind sound. The duo just released their latest single, “Changes“, one of only a handful of new songs since their last album eight years ago.

Highly influential for well over a decade, their tracks have seen billions of streams and have been sampled by countless artists. Songs like “Walking on a Dream” and “Alive” are instantly recognizable across generations of electronic and rock music fans. “Changes” is Empire of The Sun’s second single since 2020, and it’s clear that a lot of time and effort went into making this track the very best it can be.

“Changes” has an impressive songwriting and production team behind it.

Empire of the Sun created the track with frequent Avicii collaborators and EDM hitmakers Vargas & Lagola, as well as producer/songwriter Pontus Winnberg (Miike Snow, Bloodshy & Avant). The music video was directed by Michael Maxxis, who has previously worked with artists like Kygo, Orville Peck, and Sum 41.

While there hasn’t been an official new album announcement yet, expect to hear more new music from Empire of the Sun soon.

With the duo long overdue for another album, 2024 has potential to be a massive year for Empire of the Sun. If “Changes” is any sign of what’s to come, their next album is truly going to be something special.

 “Changes represents the shifting sands of time, empires rise and fall but the sun shall shine on. Come once more into the world we’ve created, delve deeper within and be rewarded with its ever-expanding story, each and every one is invited to explore the new era.”

-Lord Littlemore (Empire of the Sun)

 Changes was a breakthrough track for us. It felt like the moment of clarity when it became evident we were in the new era, our time of rebirth, the next chapter of Empire”

-Emperor Steele (Empire of the Sun)
