‘A Good Night’ begins with a traditionally LOONY sounding harmony stack, ominous and haunting with a barely noticeable vocal sample quietly sitting in the background. After a quick 8 bars we shift into a bouncy guitar based loop that excels within its restrain allowing LOONY’s heartfelt lyrics and supernatural vocal ability to shine. There’s a playfulness in the song that goes as deep as the production. Loopy and over-tired, Akeel, Adam, and Loony at one point mic’d a leaf for texture, and it made the final cut.

Of the track, LOONY shares, “‘I’ve definitely ruined what was supposed to be a good night before, because I wasn’t willing to let something go. I had questions that needed answering, or feelings I had to get off my chest. It’s not always worth it, you definitely end up being the villain. But I can’t really pretend like everything’s cool if it’s not.”

‘Old Friends’ took shape during a spontaneous and intimate jam session in Los Angeles, and sets a traditionally LOONY-esque, soulful backdrop for the summer, accurately encapsulating her timeless writing style and effortless vocals. With inspiration from the likes of Erykah Badu, Sade, Alicia Keys, The Roots and Etta James, the mature yet playful song reads like a one-sided conversation, leaning into a breezy, classic melody with epic Motown-like harmony stacks backed by raw lyrical emotion.

LOONY says, “Sometimes, when it’s all over, you never talk to that person again. Other times, time passes, and you find yourself absent-mindedly smiling thinking of them or even reaching out to see how life’s treating them. But it’s not like it was before – it’s platonic now. The intimacy from what was once romance remains, it just looks a little different. You’re able to just look at that person for who they are, for you know them quite well, and they know you. You roll your eyes at them just the same, but all the hurt is gone. Or most of it, at least. There’s something really sweet and singular to me about those moments, about those relationships. When relationships can often go so ugly, it’s a privilege when it ends to gain an old friend.”
