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.

Loris Tils brings funk energy to life with “IKKI”
Loris Tils comes out swinging with “IKKI,” a single that comes with energy and musicianship right from the opening note. Borne on the unmistakable thump of Minneapolis Funk, the song surges forward with a groove that feels impressively designed and still wildly alive.
“IKKI” is a naughty conversation between slap bass and guitar, and the two instruments impressively craft around each other with both precision and flair, building a high-octane rhythm section that feels as tight as it is explosive.
The magic of “IKKI” is this tension, relentless discipline balanced by acrobats of daring improvisation. The energy never overwhelms the groove. Instead, it expands on it, making this song a celebration of rhythm, creativity, and instrumental chemistry.

Glass Mansions turn a possible goodbye into “SUNSETTING”
Glass Mansions return with “SUNSETTING,” a new single that came together during some uncertain times for the project. What began as a mini farewell to music turned out to be among the band’s most authentic and openhearted efforts yet.
The back story of the song’s creation feels almost cinematic. The day the decision was made to quit music altogether, a message came through from some big-time music executive who had heard about the band’s first Ep and wanted to collaborate. The band had agreed to share unreleased demos on request, though they hadn’t prepared any. That urgency caused a combustion of creativity that would shape the song’s trajectory.
“SUNSETTING” was written, tracked, and recorded in a home studio with scratch vocals in roughly two hours. What could have been a thrown-together demo became a surprise breakthrough. Confronted with the prospect of delivering just one last song, the writing became rather reflective, what would you say if it were your final creative curtain call.
“SUNSETTING,” produced by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount alongside Orb Studios’ Taylor Webb, captures the urgency of its origin story but colors it with a new reflective emotional depth. The upshot is a song that feels at once improvisational and profound, an affirmation that, sometimes, when we think we’re reaching the end of something, it’s actually only setting in motion the most powerful of new starts.
