I needed a break the moment I pressed play on “On a Day Like Today,” and that’s exactly what this collaboration delivers. Julia Thomsen, working alongside composer Hollie Kenniff and producer Marie, has created something that feels less like a song and more like stepping into a quiet room after a long day.
Hollie’s signature touch drifts through the mix while Marie’s production work creates this careful space around each element. Nothing fights for attention. Julia’s compositional choices keep everything moving gently forward, which matters more than you’d think for a track like this.
The real test of ambient music is whether it actually works in the background, and whether it’s worth sitting with undivided attention. “On a Day Like Today” passes both tests. I’ve had it on while working, and I’ve also put my phone down and just listened to it. Both experiences feel intentional, which says something about the care that went into every detail here.
Released through Nettwerk Music Group, the track is available now across all streaming platforms. If you’re looking for something that actually provides what it promises, this one’s worth your time.
