‘(To Be) Without You’ is the new single from Hemi Hemingway, who is continuing to explore an 80s-inspired sound that moves away from the 60s crooner vibe he dove into with his debut EP. This time, he has crafted a track that allows his voice to soar above a texture that ebbs and flows thanks to a pounding beat and the screech of guitars. “When I was writing this song the energy of it reminded me of Greece - especially Athens; the heat on the stone at night, the dark and empty alleys, beautiful people moving everywhere and lots of exposed skin,” he says. “There was a mysterious timelessness to the city; it felt like a place that knows everything about you the moment you step foot there. I was carrying a hidden sadness while I was there, and it knew.” ‘(To Be) Without You’ is the first Hemi Hemingway track since his 2023 album, Strangers Again. Keep an eye out for more later in the year. -Dan Peeke
