The music of singer-songwriter Sunny War has been described as “folk-punk,” which captures her musical spirit as well as the depth of her songwriting. While she has been releasing music since 2014, in the early 2020’s she began attracting broader attention with her full-length albums.
In 2025, she released Armageddon in a Summer Dress, following the acclaim she received for her 2023 album, Anarchist Gospel. On that album, one of the highlights is her song, “Whole.”
On “Whole,” War offers some guidance on getting through rough days, offering a little comfort and hope.
Don’t you work yourself, yourself to death;
Take a break from the man-made hell,
To catch a breath today;
Could be the last you know, happy’s how you oughta go;
No pay could ever buy your soul,
Ever make you whole.
While the album version of the song contains a full band, electric guitar, and backing vocals, the acoustic version she did for Western AF highlights here notable acoustic guitar skills. Check out Sunny War and “Whole.”
