The single features Quino McWhinney, the legendary frontman of Big Mountain &#8211; best known as the voice behind the 1994 global smash hit, &#8216;Baby, I Love Your Way&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Driven by an effortless vocal blend and a seamless fusion of genres, the duo delivers an irresistible Latin-reggae anthem about tuning out the noise, escaping to a dreamlike paradise, and finding inner peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding to the track&#8217;s star power, &#8216;Mi Isla&#8217; boasts a stellar creative team: it was co-written by legendary Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Jeff Barry (co-writer of timeless classics like &#8216;Be My Baby&#8217; and &#8216;River Deep &#8211; Mountain High&#8217;), produced by Grammy-winner Native Wayne Jobson, and features iconic, 13-time Grammy-nominated drummer Sly Dunbar (whose credits include Bob Dylan, Grace Jones, and Peter Tosh).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet beneath the celebrated names lies a song of profound spiritual resonance, rooted in Witz\u2019s transformative healing journey following his recovery from Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. Enhancing its atmospheric feel, the track even incorporates Solfeggio chakra frequencies designed for deep listening and spiritual elevation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting on a collaboration infused with love, celebration, and cross-cultural connection, Quino shared: \u201cSongs like \u2018Mi Isla\u2019 live forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find out more about Eddie Witz &amp; The Most High and his music, follow him online on <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/eddie_witz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Eddie_Witz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/1LQj7lFJRpFfC0AG5KPBeS?si=vqGfUAHcTraXfFRM7RlPAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tiktok.com\/@eddie__witz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TikTok<\/a>, and his official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eddiewitz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer isn\u2019t over just yet &#8211; Eddie Witz &#038; The Most High are gearing up to join forces with reggae royalty for the release of &#8216;Mi Isla&#8217; on November 13th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":97923,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"Summer isn\u2019t over just yet - Eddie Witz & The Most High are gearing up to join forces with reggae royalty for the release of 'Mi Isla' on November 13th.","jetpack_seo_html_title":"Eddie Witz And The Most High To Team Up With Reggae Royalty Quino McWhinney On \u2018Mi Isla\u2019","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Summer isn\u2019t over just yet - Eddie Witz & The Most High are gearing up to join forces with reggae royalty for the release of 'Mi Isla' on November 13th.","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,9,21453,21445,21446],"tags":[32067,33981,77,370,18471,33982,1182,116,79,10677],"class_list":["post-97918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","tag-eddie-witz-and-the-most-high","tag-mi-isla","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-polly-havelock","tag-quino-mcwhinney","tag-reggae","tag-review","tag-single","tag-single-review"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-ptk","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":92038,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2025\/08\/eddie-witz-and-the-most-high-returns-with-wistful-reimagining-of-my-island-a-sunlit-journey-to-byron-bay\/","url_meta":{"origin":97918,"position":0},"title":"Eddie Witz And The Most High Returns With Wistful Reimagining Of &#8216;My Island&#8217;: A Sunlit Journey To Byron Bay","author":"Polly Havelock","date":"15\/08\/2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Eddie Witz And The Most High have returned to brighten up late-summer blues with their transcendent new single, 'My Island' - a serene fusion of folk, reggae and pop.
