Song of the Day: Lonely Again – JVSTN

New York-based pop artist JVSTN.’s latest single ‘Lonely Again’, possesses an upbeat electro pop sound, documenting the joys of being single again after a rough breakup. Since the successful release of his first two original songs last year – ‘Lost & Found’ and ‘Dancing with the Enemy’ (which claimed the blog’s Song of the Month title in February 2022) – JVSTN. has been working on new projects and can’t wait to add to his collection with this pop bop.

JVSTN says of his latest offering, “This song started years ago when my barber pointed out how he liked the Weeknd’s use of disco samples. Playing around with some disco sounds and sending ideas back and forth with my writing partner Charlie Aldrich, we landed somewhere really special. The song is about the excitement and relief of being single after a recent breakup and reclaiming your autonomy. Dancing between bitter grudges and blissful indifference, we can all now sing along about how happy we are to be ‘lonely again’.”

Listen To Eleanor’s New Single, ‘Waste My Time.’

Canadian newcomer ELEANOR‘s new single ‘Waste My Time’, was inspired by a friendship that was tiptoeing into a relationship. With the guitar plucks echoing into a mesmeric backdrop and Eleanor harmonic vocals, the cheeky and flirtatious single has an unexpected lyrical reference in the chorus to “Kiss The Girl” from Disney’s The Little Mermaid.

‘Waste My Time’ has helped the Ontario-based singer/songwriter to recognise that not every song she writes has to be deep and pensive, “I can write things that feel light,” Eleanor says.

‘Waste My Time’ follows her 2022 debut single ‘Make Sense’ – which claimed the blog’s Song of the Week title back in December – and forms part of her upcoming EP, ‘A Late Bloom’. Check out the single below…
