Dylan Joseph Reminisces About His College Break Up On Country Single “Closer To You”
Country music singer-songwriter and producer Dylan Joseph releases his latest song today, “Closer To You,” following-up on the incredibly beautiful music video and song, “44,” dropped earlier this year.
Sad and happy recollections often make up a large part of our memories, as we dive in the nostalgic mood of reliving as much as we can bits and pieces of the emotional rollercoasters we’ve been through.
One of the first songs written by Dylan Joseph, “Closer To You” takes a look in the past at his college break up experience, and how every moment was another reason to remember how perfect his ex-girlfriend was, and how much he missed her.
Whether listening to a love song on the radio while driving, or passing by in front of a place where we had been together, we often look for every sign to bring back our once much loved lover back for a few seconds in our lives. Of course, it is usually right after a break-up that things get the toughest, and that’s what is beautifully translated into a flawless country song by the extremely skilled Dylan Joseph on “Closer To You”.
Dylan always felt close to music thanks to his father who was a professional drummer, and as Dylan says “There was always a drum set in the house because my father was a professional drummer.” At fourteen years old, Dylan picked-up the drums, in his father’s footsteps, but also taught himself playing the guitar at eighteen years old.
He first met succes for a song he co-wrote titled “Just Friends” created for the YouTube hit show “Malibu Surf,” a track that counts around 10M views. He has written songs for different artists, in a broad array of genres, but his heart and passion is to write and perform the country music he loves.
This dreamy country song is just another proof of this emerging artist’s immense potential, and after “44,” “Closer To You” will most surely expose his unique artistry to those who still haven’t heard his incredible sound.

Leyla Romanova finds strength in silence on new release “Self-Control”
Leyla Romanova‘s new single, “Self-Control,” is a powerful emotional release that feels more like a manifesto for surviving modern chaos than a song. In a world of opinions, urgency, and emotional exhaustion, Romanova offers a track based on one radical idea: not reacting.
“Self-Control” immediately creates tension and clarity. The drums keep everything together with discipline and purpose. As the textured instrumentals expand like waves of thought through a crowded mind, the bass anchors the listener emotionally.
The contrast between outside noise and inside stillness makes the song compelling. Romanova’s work captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by pressure, opinions, and distractions while silently retaining personal peace. There are no major uprisings. But restraint is power. The song knows energy conservation is a survival strategy.
