I Like You Too Much

Following the release of the indie-pop ‘Good Times’ in Apr 2025, the eclectic artist Keelan X is dropping ‘EVEN THOUGH IT’S SUMMER’ - an end-of-summer vibe in the thematic tradition of songs like the 80s classic ‘Boys of Summer’ by Don Henly or something more recent like ‘August’ by Taylor Swift.

‘EVEN THOUGH IT’S SUMMER’ alludes to carefree summer evenings, road trips, a bittersweet end-of-holiday romance and the approaching change in seasons. Speaking about the lyrics, Keelan explains: “You know when they put back-to-school ads on the telly and radio. I wanted to capture that mixture of feelings the winding-up of summer brings. I’m interested in that duality; the space between seasons, between hope and resignation, between connection and separation. It’s the ‘what ifs’ that drive narrative in our favorite movies, songs etc. So there’s a dollop of this in this song.”

The song has a breezy, feel-good energy – crisp beats, shimmering synths and a memorable vocal hook, fused with a melodic melancholy. Musically, the song is influenced by the likes of The 1975, Holly Humberstone, Mitski etc. “Some of my previous songs had a very synth-pop 80s vibe. I wanted this song to introduce some guitars again, albeit in a subtle way. Going forward, I want to explore recording as a live band again and get that live, four-people-in-a-room energy into the songs” says Keelan. 

The track was written Keelan X and co-produced by Alex O’Keefe and Julian Chown, with final mixing and mastering by Billy Foster. 

With his distinctive take on the genre, Keelan X has gained a plethora of press & media support to date ranging from RTE, 2XFM, FM104, Today FM, Hot Press, GOO Magazine and Sunday Times.

Even Though It's Summer

Fresh off the back of their latest album, The Response pivot sharply with Where Do You Run To? It’s a bold left turn for the Christchurch duo, embracing a grittier, more propulsive sound without losing their melodic touch.
Fueled by fuzzed-out guitar hooks and a beat that struts more than sprints, it’s the kind of song that sneaks up on you. There’s a swagger in the way Victoria’s bass drives the track, it’s steady, confident, and impossible to sit still to. Lyrically, Andy Knopp drops cryptic lines like breadcrumbs, while the chorus — big, bold, and custom-built for a room full of voices — drives it home.
Rather than rush headlong, Where Do You Run To? holds its nerve, letting its momentum build and simmer. It’s controlled, but kinetic. A track that keeps moving forward and takes you with it.

Where Do You Run To?

Outta Your Head

In a suburban town in Virginia, a woman named Jordy has caught the eye of a man named Yahnzi. On their daily exercise runs in the neighborhood, they pass eachother, he sees her and smiles, she smirks back. This is all that ever happens.

Stylistically, the sound is painted in a dream pop, yacht rock, ethereal, groove dance, moody vibe. You can dance to it or you can sit and tap your foot, or you can sing along with the easy to remember catchy chorus hook.

To whoever listens, I appreciate your ears!
