Late Night Feelings Returns With Incredible New Project In Your Dreams
Late Night Feelings’ new EP In Your Dreams is a tender, hypnotic exploration of the thin veil between reality and the subconscious. Karan Naik, the Brooklyn-born, New Jersey-based artist behind the moniker, has always had a gift for writing intimate, late-hour pop. This six-track project deepens that signature bedroom-pop world with a cohesive emotional gaze into love, loss, and the nebulous in-between.
From the shimmering production to the soft, whispered vocals, In Your Dreams feels like stepping into a lucid reverie. The standout single “Heartstopper” perfectly encapsulates the EP’s emotional centre. With lyrics like “Got the words on the tip of my tongue … I just wanna know what’s next,” Naik balances hope and vulnerability. The chorus swells with earnest longing: “My heartstopper … feeling on top of the world … come and run away with me.” There’s a cinematic quality here, as if two people are dancing beneath starry skies, suspended in a moment that could end at sunrise.
Lyrically, Naik leans into raw honesty without ever resorting to melodrama. Lines about dancing in moonlight, losing track of time, and wishing to freeze the moment feel deeply personal and universally relatable. The bridge of “Heartstopper”, “Wish we could stay in this moment forever / It feels so new”, captures that bittersweet urge to hold on even while knowing nothing lasts.
While the EP pivots between hopeful energy and reflective melancholy, it never loses its sense of cohesion. Karan’s voice remains calm and reassuring, like a friend sharing half-remembered dreams in the dark. In Your Dreams is a beautiful project from a new name, and in its stillness and honesty it stakes a claim for Late Night Feelings as one of pop’s most emotionally resonant emerging voices. Whether you’re lying awake at 3 a.m. or simply craving music that feels like a soft conversation, this EP is worth slowing down for.

jon scott’s “YOU ARE SO REAL” Has A Surprisingly Buoyant Origin
A song written during months of recovery from spinal surgery might be expected to sound a little heavy. jon scott’s “YOU ARE SO REAL” takes a different route.
The single came together while scott was bedbound and working through rehabilitation. It reflects the support he received from family, friends and others who reached out, as well as the happiness of returning to creative work. Yet the finished track is not weighed down by that story. It sounds like someone who has found a reason to put the kettle on, turn up the music and enjoy the day.
The retro-inspired production gives it a relaxed, classic feel, while the vocals keep things upbeat and joyful. The chorus is direct, and the instrumental section lets the song settle into its own rhythm.
That contrast is what makes the track interesting. The circumstances behind it are serious, but the song itself is about what makes life worth celebrating. It is not trying to turn recovery into a dramatic musical statement. Instead, it takes the support that helped scott through and gives it a joyous soundtrack.
“YOU ARE SO REAL” is a song about feeling better, but it gets there through a good mood rather than a heavy explanation. That is a refreshing way to approach a subject that could easily have gone in another direction. Have a listen for yourself below, courtesy of Now Listen.
