Arden Jones is back, and we couldn’t be happier. Our ‘mr. sunshine’ dropped three new bangers on his newest EP release, age tape 10. Unfortunately, we couldn’t pick a favorite song from the release (because they are all so incredible), but we do have details about our favorite parts of each song.
How bout them apples?! Sorry…we had to.
‘Hard Enough To Stay Alive’
The first song is a perfect way to open this body of work. In fact, it’s a perfect way to open 2024! “Same old voice in my head, no, it’s not a friend,” Arden sings. We love Arden Jones so much because he is not afraid to be vulnerable and raw in his lyrics. ❤️🩹 At one point or another, we’ve all felt defeated by the voices in our heads that distract us from what makes us happy.
Worry is our middle name, and we can’t thank Arden enough for creating music that makes us feel less alone.
‘Indigo’
When you aren’t feeling blue or necessarily super pinky and happy, you’re feeling ‘indigo.’ 💜 But, we’re never unhappy listening to Arden Jones. The more vibey of the three songs, ‘indigo’ makes us want to get up and groove regardless of the downer lyrics. “I’ve been miserable since the day you disappeared,” Arden sings. If Arden ever disappeared on us, we’d be miserable too.
‘Count Me In’
1, 2, 3, 4! You can certainly count us in to be Arden’s #1 fan! 👏👏 This just may be our favorite song of the three, but don’t tell Arden that. This song features the iconic and talented Ƚaszewo, who brings some powerhouse vocals and lyricism. “He holds my hand I think I might just lose my mind,” Ƚaszewo sings. Which is probably the realest thing we’ve ever heard. We live in a constant state of delusion 😊.
This EP is certainly no ‘horror story’ but rather an explosive way to enter 2024! What are your favorite lyrics from age tape 10? Let us know in the comments below or by buzzing with us on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook 🐝
