Thai artist   James Alyn  (former 1/2 of   HYBS ) and London-based pop band   PREP   team up for the heartfelt new single “Don’t Worry.” With PREP’s smooth blend of soft pop, funk, and soul, paired with James’ warm, emotional tone, they complement each other to create a sound that feels both intimate and timeless, offering comfort and hope.   “Don’t Worry” was inspired by a touching encounter with a fan. “She told me my songs helped her through her darkest times. I wrote this song hoping it could be a beacon of light for others who need it. I’m really thankful to my fans for being by my side through thick and thin. Just like the line  ‘Even in another life, you can find me by your side’ , I’ll always be there for them too.”   Combining soothing vocals, lush synths, and PREP’s signature groove, “Don’t Worry” is a reminder to keep faith through difficult moments. “It was the night I opened for PREP in Taipei,” James recalls. “After the show, I and t...

Just a month after dropping “ Pink Skies ,”   The Bloomfields   are back with “ Balikan ,” a luminous new track that yearns for the beauty of simpler days: a time when moments were lived, not streamed. Brimming with nostalgia and reflection, “Balikan” conveys the universal longing to return to the glorious memories of the past while rediscovering its warmth. “This song is about that sudden realization of how quickly time passes—and the longing to return to those simpler days,” shares Nathan Abella, the band’s rhythm guitarist. “It all started with something as ordinary as hanging out in a parking lot with old friends, which sparked a wave of nostalgia.” Produced by Lakan Hila, the band’s keyboardist and lead guitarist, “Balikan” radiates with rich, lush textures and melodic sensibilities that recall George Harrison’s timeless sound and the dreamy hues of late ‘60s and early ‘70s psychedelia. The result is both classic and contemporary, unraveling a sonic tapestry that doesn’t ...
