In conjunction with the strawberry moon coming on Tuesday, June 30, Peter Gabriel has released a new song, and it's totally appropriate for the cosmic event.
A strawberry moon is simply the name for a full moon that happens in June. It's the "traditional name for the full moon that occurs in June," according to NBC's KARK.
Now, in honor of the moon, Gabriel has released "I Belong to the Sky" from his upcoming album, "o/i," which marks the follow-up to 2023's "i/o."

"It's another song which has taken a while to grow," Gabriel said of the track on social media and his official website. "It was a candidate, in some form, for the i/o record, but didn't get finished off, but it was always one of my favorites."
He added: "I'm a strong believer that reality is more malleable than we imagine and that if you really make strong pictures of something happening, you really affect the chances of it materializing. Visualizing … how dreams leave their nest is the main topic of the song."

Gabriel also said that "one of the things I love about this track is that these amazing musicians let themselves loose and really take off – with Manu (Katché) driving. It's just great."
The new song isn't unexpected. Fans know they're getting a new song whenever a full moon rolls around. Like he did with "i/o," Gabriel is releasing a new track from "o/i" in tandem with each full moon of the year. The full album will be out by the end of 2026, as well as "Dark-Side" and "Bright-Side" mixes.
