"Sunny Room" is the third track to be lifted from Friedman's debut solo album, following January's "First To Love" and November's "Where The Rocks Are".

Friedman says of the new song, "The search for my sunny room - my internal place of peace, comfort and calm - is a daily endeavor, and sometimes feels like a tug-of-war. This song is a wish that the comforting space within one’s self is bright enough to outshine moments of darkness. As someone who has struggled with depression and anxiety, I know that these sunny rooms can often be difficult to find, and yet I do my best to renew the search time and time again."

The Dirty Projectors and Coco musician started work on Under the New Light four years ago, and worked on the record with Tom Deis (Pineapple Room Studio), Peter Lalish, and Coco bandmate Dan Molad in a production role.
