Jack Horton and Vesper Stockwell spark emotion in “Never Know Why”

H

If and when music is the language of emotions, Jack Horton’s new single, “Never Know Why,” features Vesper Stockwell, who talks entirely in florid verse. Unveiled as the fourth offering from his gut-wrenching EP Imperfections, this duet is a journey that starts with vulnerability and ends with sweeping majesty. Beginning with a sparse arrangement that allows the rawness of the moment to unfold, “Never Know Why” draws listeners into an intimate, emotional space. Jack’s gravel-voiced signature vocals are earthy, weathered, and real, hitting you right off the bat. Vesper Stockwell, whose voice drifts in with crystalline purity, is an instant and almost magnetic contrast.

“Never Know Why” is a love song, it studies the mysterious pull of human connection, the kind that goes against reason but seems completely indispensable. This is a love song about the incomprehensible nature of love and the need to be with someone. And in keeping with that sentiment, the song encapsulates both the ache and awe of loving without rationale. As the track progresses, the instrumentation expands and swells strings rocket the melody heavenward, the percussion throbs with subdued power, and the once-bare confessional blossoms into an all-out orchestral release. It’s a brilliant metaphor for how love begins as something small and keen, and if properly nourished, a fire that burns in a hearth can grow into a leaping, uncontainable bonfire.

What distinguishes “Never Know Why” is the way Horton and Stockwell pour themselves into every fucking line. It’s chemistry, and you can practically taste it. Not only in the harmonies themselves, but in the silences that cleave them. In the lingering notes. In the shared vulnerability. This is a track on an EP, and a moment. What a memory in the making for anyone who has ever loved anyone without a reason. “Never Know Why” is available for streaming on all platforms, and if you’ve ever wondered why your heart is drawn to someone you can’t make sense of, Jack Horton says you’ll never know why, because maybe you don’t need to.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
