Known for blending emotional honesty with catchy, late-night vibes, NEWĀRK takes a step deeper into his personal life with this track, exploring the bittersweet nature of long-distance love.
‘Without A You’ began with a simple yet unforgettable bass line from his bassist Bram 't Hart, which NEWĀRK describes as the “dough” that shaped the song. From that foundation, he built an arrangement filled with piano, synths, and drums, reflecting the complex emotions of being apart from a loved one. "
The lyrics were inspired by my own long-distance relationship with my girlfriend in Paris," he shares. "It’s a track that will resonate with anyone who’s ever loved from afar."
A master of combining Pop, Hip-hop, and Alternative with a unique twist, NEWĀRK has been drawing in fans with his authentic, reflective sound. His previous album, Flowers That Don’t Exist, earned acclaim for its relatable storytelling and distinct style, establishing NEWĀRK as an artist who’s unafraid to get personal. His new material continues that journey, offering listeners a sound reminiscent of artists like Mac Miller, Dijon, and Frank Ocean while staying true to his own voice.
With over 100 festival performances across the Netherlands, NEWĀRK’s live shows bring this emotional depth to the stage, connecting with audiences on a profound level. ‘Without A You’ sets the stage for his next big move—an upcoming album that promises even more raw, late-night reflections on love, life, and everything in between.
