OKTOBER returns to the blog with her latest single, “I Really Need A Friend,” the second release from her upcoming EP, Everyone’s Sorry. This queer artist from Kaiserslautern first captured our hearts with “Love’s The Hardest Part,” and with each raw, emotional track she delivers, we’re more convinced that her EP will be a favorite here at UpToHear HQ.
In “I Really Need A Friend,” OKTOBER strips everything down to its emotional core, much like her previous work. The song’s raw vulnerability makes you reflect on that desperate moment when all you crave is connection. It’s a hauntingly beautiful portrait of loneliness, the kind of track that feels like it’s holding a mirror to the listener’s soul.
With just her voice and a piano, OKTOBER takes us on an intimate, gut-wrenching journey. The harmonies provide fleeting comfort, a brief hope that the isolation might fade, only to slip away like waves in the sea of despair. “I Really Need A Friend” is a powerful cry for connection, so don’t hesitate—press play and let it speak to you.
