LA Musician Your Ex Shares Smooth New EP Interludes & Daydreams p.2

Singer/songwriter/producer Your Ex is an LA native who found a passion for music at a young age that later flourished into a deep exploration of the arts. As an independent artist, Your Ex took a spot on Spotify’s Fresh Finds and Best Of Alternative R&B playlists with his single “BUT HER LOVE” in 2021, and he is now back for the first time in two years with brand-new music in the form of EP Interludes & Daydreams p.2.
Featuring lo-fi beats and Your Ex’s smooth, warm vocals, the five-track project is another impressive offering and the perfect follow-up to 2021’s Interludes & Daydreams p.1. Among the five tracks is new single “Everything You Need”, which is one of Your Ex’s favourite tracks he’s released to date. The project looks set to see him continue where he left off two years ago and reach new heights, and with a third part in the EP series already in the works, he doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon.
Speaking further on the new EP, Your Ex says, “I wanted to create something authentic to me, neither explicitly modern nor overtly commercial. There’s a thread within my music that fans will soon find. When writing these songs, I tend to dive in and out of past and present situations, dissecting lessons and exposing personal faults that in the past have been difficult to come face to face with. The series of Interludes & Daydreams is about specific moments in a shared timeline that kinda defined who I am now.
“This is for those that are looking for an explanation or some validation for their blurred emotions. Love can be a crushingly confusing place, even when it’s real.” Interludes & Daydreams p.2 is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://yourex.lnk.to/idp2.

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.
