Joey P. – Walked In
Joey P. Reclaims The Spark That Started It All
As Joey P. turns toward 25, he’s choosing to celebrate by reopening the door to the song that first set his lane in motion. “Walked In” returns as a snapshot of his early hunger: lo-fi, astral R&B with a soft-focus glow, guitar lines that drift like streetlights, and a vocal presence that feels both intimate and self-assured. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t just revisit a beginning — it reminds you why the beginning mattered.
For the Chicago singer-songwriter, this release feels less like a reset than a confident reintroduction. With a growing audience and a sound that’s quietly become his signature, Joey P. is folding reflection into momentum, letting the song carry the weight of where he started and where he’s headed next.
WiLL – IG Love
WiLL Turns Social Validation Into A Modern Love Story
WiLL’s “IG Love” cuts straight into the gap between online attention and actual affection, framing modern romance through a same-gender-loving lens with clarity and bite. Built from lived experience, the Washington, D.C. artist folds soulful R&B phrasing into sleek pop polish, letting the track move between longing, doubt, and the small ache of wanting to be chosen for real. It’s the kind of song that understands how a like can feel loud in the moment, but still leave a person empty when the screen goes dark.
What makes WiLL compelling is the way he writes from inside the mess, not above it. He turns private tension into something communal, giving “IG Love” the weight of confession and the pull of a hook. Follow him at @thats.what.will.says.
