Halfloves Release New Track “Do U Follow Me?”
Halfloves releases upbeat new single “Do U Follow Me?”, their first new release since 2019’s album Dazer. The track was recorded at The Magic Barn, the second life of famed NY studio The Magic Shop where David Bowie, Bjork, Coldplay, and countless other legendary acts have also made their music.
According to the band, they had been sitting on the bassline since 2016, inspired by Kendrick Lamar’s “King Kunta” and Gorillaz’s “Stylo”, but it wasn’t until the events of Blackout Tuesday on June 2, 2020, that the rest of the song unfolded. “It was mystifying to sort out our true motivations in posting that black square – was it in solidarity for the cause of justice or was it for our ‘brand’ on social media? Was obsessing over that question a healthy self-reflection or was it self-centered and even white-centric?
Beyond that specific scenario, it’s just curious how something as seemingly innocuous as a technology that enables you to share photos of your dog with your family also has this enormous power to subconsciously direct the behaviors of millions and shape the zeitgeist of culture, transforming the deepest parts of our psychology and sense of purpose. Meaning has become conflated with metrics. We had to ask ourselves, ‘Where is this leading us? What are we following?’

Finn pensively looks back on fading memories on latest release “Last Love Song”
A standout from the new 11-song album CONTROL, “Last Love Song” is a deeply reflective listening experience from Finn. Centered around the chemistry of a full-band composition, the song leans into warmth and familiarity, allowing its acoustic guitar, expressive bass line, and heartfelt songwriting to take center stage. Instead of seeking out dramatic moments, it opts for subtle emotion, resulting in a piece that feels intimate from the first note. It’s a balanced, organic arrangement that gives each instrument room to breathe while highlighting the song’s reflective mood.
The opening lyrics have a think-back feel, evoking youthful friendships, shared secrets, and memories that persist all these years later. The delicate instrumentation lends itself to those reflections with ease, and the emotional weight of the story unfolds naturally rather than being forced. The acoustic guitar provides a comforting foundation, while the bass line adds warmth and motion, creating a rich background that supports the song’s heartfelt course. Each musical selection feeds into the story, giving the listening experience a genuine, remarkably relatable feel.
What makes this release special is its honesty. Looking backward rather than forward, Finn evokes some of the strongest emotions, and that perspective gives the song enduring appeal. The cohesive performance doesn’t drown out the lyrics and keeps the arrangement interesting, proving that sometimes less is more. “Last Love Song” is a contemplative reminder in CONTROL that true connections never really disappear, but transform into memories that continue to affect us. It’s a warm, melodic, and emotionally grounded record that lingers long after the last note fades.
