Finn O’Hara Debuts New Single ‘You Deserve A Better Man’

Teenage Pop dynamo Finn O’Hara returns with his sophomore single ‘You Deserve A Better Man’. The Dublin, Ireland, native burst onto the scene in early 2022 with his debut single ‘Silhouette’, which quickly found an audience on TikTok and translated to hundreds of thousands of Spotify streams.

Finn swaps his soothing and emotional melodies for a more electronic Pop soundscape with dynamic synths and a pounding drum beat, cementing himself as a chart-worthy player and diverse songwriter. Boasting a singalong chorus that is sure to resonate with his listeners, Finn explores toxic relationships with a sympathetic and honest tone. The track was produced and mixed by Richey McCourt (Will Young, Pixie Lott, Matt Cardle).

Talking about the new track, Finn shares: “I initially wrote the track about a friend of mine who feels she can never find the right person for her and was stuck in a situationship that was very toxic. I took lots of inspiration from different posts I had seen in social media where people feel they’re never good enough for more than a one night stand which I found really frustrating and sad to see, giving rise to the one night stand line in the chorus.”

Feelgood Frequencies: Why CR Srikanth’s “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™” Is The Sonic Hug You Didn’t Know You Needed

If you’ve been looking for a track that feels like a warm, nostalgic hug wrapped in shimmering synths, CR Srikanth’s new single “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™” might be exactly what you need. It offers a beautiful balance of emotional depth and danceable energy, pulling you out of your head and into a place where you can just breathe, feel, and move. In a world that often feels overwhelming, this track delivers a sense of calm and release.

Srikanth, a US-based Indian composer and sonic storyteller, has carved out a unique musical space with his self-created genre, VS Pop™ (Very Smooth Pop). Drawing from vintage 1980s synthpop, ambient soundscapes, and cinematic orchestral touches, he’s crafted a style that feels both familiar and forward-thinking. “Dancing in the Dark” continues that evolution. It is at once intimate and expansive, polished yet deeply human.

The track features vocals from Junior Paez, whose delivery adds emotional texture to the lyrics. There’s a quiet honesty in lines like “Don’t you think you’re losing your mind again?” and “Hold on, I’ll take you a little higher tonight.” These words speak to the chaos we often feel inside, but instead of staying stuck there, the song encourages movement, connection, and hope. It is music that acknowledges the darkness but chooses to dance through it anyway.

The production is rich with shimmering arpeggiators, retro synth bass, and crisp electronic drums. It brings together nostalgia and futurism in a way that feels effortless. Imagine flickering neon lights, soft motion blur, and the kind of energy that makes you want to close your eyes and sway. It is cinematic but never overwhelming. Every layer serves the emotion at the heart of the track.

What makes “Dancing in the Dark” so appealing is how well it adapts to your mood. Whether you’re heading out for a solo night drive, setting the vibe for a weekend gathering, or simply lying on your bed in need of a reset, this song fits the moment. It never pushes too hard, but it always lands exactly where it needs to. There is something comforting about how sure of itself it feels.

CR Srikanth is not just making music for the sake of it. He is building emotional landscapes for listeners to get lost in and to find themselves again. With “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™,” he offers more than just a catchy tune. He gives us space to reflect, to feel seen, and to find joy in the act of simply moving forward. So press play, turn it up, and let yourself be lifted. This one’s for the heart, the soul, and the feet.
