Atlanta-based artist Hojean has dropped his latest single, ‘Cruel’. It’s a sparse, indie-soul cut that allows his memorable voice to shine above a spacious beat. A sense of smooth, soulful nostalgia sits at the top of the track thanks to delicate guitar work, but a scattering of glitchy, distorted vocals keep the track firmly rooted in the 21st century. The track “is about no matter how many new faces you meet there's always going to be that one you can't seem to forget. Whether it was left off in good blood or bad, overblown fake confidence to seem like you're doing better than them, bad distractions to forget about that one someone, sometimes all you want in the end is closure.” Hojean’s second EP, Cherie, drops on September 21st, 2023. -Dan Peeke
