Still Woozy, “Again” – Opening with “Again”, we are introduced to the darker sides of Still Woozy’s past relationships. The track focuses on a repeated cycle of denial and heartbreak, using heavy bass and synths to underscore the tougher, complex feelings that come with this pain. … Loveseat is an ode to the people he loves most in life. He honors his friends and family by creating meaningful songs that share how their impact has changed him as a person. Loveseat inspires listeners to reflect on what matters most to them and to show appreciation for the people or things that bring them joy.

The Knocks and Dolores Forever, “LOVER” – Drawing inspiration from house, disco, hip-hop, indie, and pop, “LOVER” is an upbeat summer hit that is sure to attract listeners who are fans of either band, or who are discovering the two groups for the first time. The track is a beautiful blend of both bands’ sounds, and is one that you will not want to miss.

Real Friends, “Waiting Room” – Dealing with deeply personal subject matter, “Waiting Room” addresses the pain of loss and will resonate with listeners who have ever gone through something like this. This song has been perfectly executed from start to finish. The vulnerable lyrics combined with the raw and energetic vocal and instrumental styles will capture listeners’ hearts, especially if they’ve lost a loved one. With “Waiting Room”, Real Friends has created a relatable track that fans can turn to whenever they want to feel seen and understood, regardless of what they’re going through.
