TĀMAKI MAKAURAU, NEW ZEALAND (November 21, 2025) – New Zealand music icon Bic Runga announces the release date of her much-anticipated new album, Red Sunset, and an Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia national tour.
‘Red Sunset’ will be released on Friday, February 13.
Recorded in Paris during the winter of 2025, the album is now available for pre-order and is Bic’s first collection of all-original material since 2011’s Belle, marking a radiant new chapter for one of Aotearoa’s most beloved artists.
The album’s lead single and title track, ‘Red Sunset,’ is out now. A powerful torch song of longing and desire, it evokes the tumultuous emotions of being the one left behind. The song and album are co-produced by Bic Runga and Kody Nielson.
This new single follows previously released tracks:
"It's Like Summertime" a nostalgic yet forward-looking anthem that fondly recalls carefree days with childhood friends, harnessing those memories to imagine a better future.
"Paris in the Rain" a cinematic soundscape inspired by the image of Paris, beautiful, yet flooding. Written on the last night of a winter trip, the song came to life watching torrential rain on the Louvre Pyramid. Its distinctive sound was captured on an historic 1807 French Pleyel piano.
The Red Sunset Tour will see Bic performing across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia next autumn and is funded through NZ On Air and supported by the NZ Music Commission.
Tickets for Bic Runga Red Sunset Tour will be available to purchase by the General Public on Tuesday, November 25 at 11am local time.
