“Everything about Oropendola—from its name to its lyrics and music—feels deeply intentional. This project, led by Brooklyn-based singer, songwriter, and musician Joanna Schubert, takes its name from a bird native to Central and South America, known for its ‘golden pendulum’ translation. In the debut release Stillness, Schubert brings this pendulum idea to life, as the song gracefully swings between different moods and influences. It’s a soft yet powerful track, perfect for those winter moments—whether you’re walking through snow or spending a cozy night indoors.”
