"Islands" is a song by English musician Mike Oldfield, featuring Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler on vocals.

English musician Mike Oldfield described "Islands" as "the high spot" of its parent album.

Oldfield wrote "Islands" during that time, while feeling "lonely, isolated and cut off".

After struggling with the vocals, he invited Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler to record it, describing her performance as "spine-tingling, exactly the way it was supposed to be".

[2] In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Mike DeGagne opined that Tyler's vocal "lifts the title track higher than any other cut [on the album]".
