Rising Artist Joby Uncovers Phenomenal New Single “4u”

Published

on

Originally from Indonesia, Joby is a songwriter, producer, recording artist and mixing engineer based in Berlin. Joby has been into music from a young age. He first touched a piano when he was six and then later moved to the saxophone during his high school years, where he joined a local jazz band. He then began teaching himself how to use Ableton in 2019 and invested in a small home studio setup. He made his official music debut in December 2020 with “Locked In” and hasn’t looked back since.

Following a string of releases over the last two years, 20-year-old Joby has just unveiled his brand-new single, “4u” – an emotional yet energetic pop-rap tune laced with emo-rap guitar melodies alongside trap-style drums. The track was written and produced by Joby and mixed/mastered by TRIXX Studios (Juice WRLD, Trippie Redd, Billie Eilish, Nicki Minaj). Showcasing Joby’s impressive lyrical abilities and heartfelt vocals, “4u” is surely his best track to date and gives listeners a candid look into his life for the first time.

Elaborating further, Joby says, “After a falling out I had with someone, I decided to write a song about her and the situation. ‘4u’ is definitely my best written and best vocal-performed piece. It gives an in-depth insight into my personal life and struggles of a recent relationship occurrence. ‘4u’ is significant to me as it shows a deeper, more personal and vulnerable side of me than my other songs.” “4u” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://lnk.to/pre-save_4u.

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

Published

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.
