Thomas Comerford takes off his “Sun Glasses,” evoking a warm and humorous memory
In “Sun Glasses,” his latest release, Thomas Comerford finds a kind of timeless cool that never ages, the type that feels both retro and refreshingly earnest. Comerford offers a tune that borrows from the golden years of 70s AM radio and the sweet melodic confection of early 80s Top 40, creating an experience that feels like a sun-drenched afternoon drive through both memory and melody.
With a musical voice honed through decades of listening and living, Comerford doesn’t write songs, he curates moments. “Sun Glasses” is a perfect representation of his ability to merge that sense of classic songwriting with his roots in indie-minded underground scenes from the 80s/90s, providing memories while not feeling lost in time.
There’s an understated self-assuredness to this track, slick, smooth, melodic, and effortless. The sound is somehow intimate and grand at the same time, and the listener can bask in comforting hues of vintage charm while enjoying fresh nuances of meaning with each listen.
“Sun Glasses” is not just a song about style or swagger but about perspective, the way we filter light, memory and emotion as we move through the years. Comerford’s old-soul songwriting invites us to slip on a pair of our own and see the world through clear, colourful lenses that are just a little bit soulful.

BuYufu turns the symptoms of love into a soul-filled dance with “Side Effects May Include”
In “Side Effects May Include,” BuYufu has made the irrational symptoms of hopelessly falling in love playful and highly musical. Love’s a hell of a drug, and it has some weird side effects. Missed calls, dancing on the spot, and acting completely out of character. It’s a simple idea, but the track really brings it to life.
It’s written as a song for a 70s soul club performance, influenced by crossover soul, northern soul, Afro-Cuban soul, and Latin soul. Horns, strings, shuffle guitar, Latin percussion, Hammond organ, and an active drum break surround the song’s central feeling. The arrangement keeps the song feeling lively, but the vintage influence is very clear.
“Side Effects May Include,” has subtle callbacks for those who have been following the project. This connection gives the song a sense of finality. It’s warm, raw, and deliberately human in its subject matter, capturing the odd thrill of love while showing how an old-school soul feeling can still speak naturally to the present.
