MAB Unleashes New Single ‘The Star Lounge’
MAB returns with “The Star Lounge”, a shimmering, genre-blurring odyssey that positions Jon Berry as one of the most inventive voices in contemporary pop. The track fuses psychedelic textures, infectious dance grooves, and hip-hop rhythms into a compact, 2-and-a-half-minute adventure, demonstrating a rare ability to make experimental music feel instantly accessible. It’s playful yet precise, a track that seduces the ears while hinting at a broader, more ambitious sonic universe.
Berry’s storytelling is at the forefront, drawing listeners into a neon-lit fantasia where introspection and fantasy coexist. Inspired by his viral creative output, the song navigates themes of escapism, self-discovery, and surreal imagination, giving “The Star Lounge” a cinematic feel that lingers long after the final note. Every detail—from ethereal vocal layers to pulsing synth lines—feels meticulously crafted, yet effortlessly cool.
Produced with Caden Jester, the track is a perfect balance of futuristic polish and raw charisma. MAB demonstrates that he’s not just revisiting his sound; he’s reinventing it, carving out a space where pop, psychedelia, and dance collide. “The Star Lounge” is a dazzling re-entry that promises an expansive creative era, and it leaves listeners eager for whatever Jon Berry has planned next.
It is easy to see why a songwriter might be drawn to a story like this. Relationships rarely finish as neatly as people would like, and the space between “it is over” and “maybe we should try again” can produce plenty of material. For Dysmusia, that space becomes the setting for latest single “In your eyes”, out now through Now Listen.
The Irish singer-songwriter has a knack for keeping his writing close to everyday life, and this track benefits from that approach. He looks at an old relationship that has already gone through several attempts at making things work, then focuses on what happens when those feelings start creeping back in.
What makes the song appealing is the balance between sincerity and a lighter touch. Dysmusia is clearly invested in the situation, but he does not turn every moment into a grand declaration. There is room for a bit of humour and hesitation along the way, which keeps the song feeling natural.
The arrangement gives the song a pleasing lift. Acoustic guitar sits at the heart of it, with the dropped tuning adding some richness and a second guitar bringing extra colour. The result has folk at its core but carries enough indie-rock influence to give it a little extra punch.
Dysmusia’s Irish background is another part of the picture. Based between Antrim and Dublin and coming from a musical family, he has developed a style that puts storytelling alongside contemporary guitar sounds.
“In your eyes” brings those influences together without making a fuss about them. It is a personable, melodic track about feelings that refuse to follow a neat timetable, delivered with enough warmth to make the story easy to get behind.
