Starfall’s ‘weeknight’ Is a Groove-Laced Maybe


Uncertainty is certainly a mood, and starfall is not scared to embrace it in his polished new single “weeknight,” which, with an engine-like bassline, begins the roaring joyride. The new song shifts from a mellow atmosphere to a contagious, groovy pop and R&B frolic, all as it explores the push and pull of an almost-relationship fantasy.

Of course, that tug-of-war is what immediately connects with listeners—that uncertainty that, among bright, rapid chord changes, feels so hot pink, so velvet-soft, that it becomes a fun fantasy, not an anxious reality. What could be, in terms of love, aligns with the song’s energetic mood, and what it actually is sits in the lyrics for the listener to explore.

“You call me up on a weeknight / Tell me you haven’t slept right, baby / You’re not the same in the daylight, no / I wonder who broke your heart now, baby / No I can’t do what you want / Is it me or alcohol?” sings starfall with a passion, verse-to-chorus so chill, and you can’t help feeling that a heart may break in the fun of it all.

The territory is not new to starfall, who, at just 21 years old, has mastered the nooks of love and imagination: the day after starting a new relationship, the night after it ends, and all in between. Much like weeknights, it is the space between Monday and Friday where the story lives—the bad, the good, and the promise of something else.

Fresh off the heels of a sold-out show at the Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles, starfall is moving with intention, releasing songs that have an ear to the ground and a finger on the pulse of his generation. If uncertainty is today’s de facto ambience, we might as well dance to it, we might as well lounge in its colorful moods.
