introvertlet’s talk – devon morris
The verdict
“devon morris flips the stalker song inside out, crafting an unsettling indie pop gem with an unreliable narrator”
'let's talk' opens like a love song and then keeps going, past the point where comfort runs out. morris wrote it first as a track about fear, someone's boundaries being crossed, but it didn't unsettle her enough. so she rewrote it from the other side, through the lens of obsession and entitlement. it's a trick borrowed from 'every breath you take' and billie eilish's 'the diner': the narrator sounds reasonable until they don't, and then they sound reasonable again, and the listener keeps losing their footing. the melody pulls you in and the escalation keeps you off balance. it's a brilliantly crafted piece of misdirection, and over here at introvert disco, we love it.
devon morris is a new york city based singer-songwriter, originally from san diego. she released her debut album, the earth is flat, in april this year, and has since been performing it live at venues across the city. her writing leans into the darker corners of human experience. she's said music is how she processes emotion, and that she finds comfort in the uncomfortable. that honesty shows in how sharp 'let's talk' feels. this one deserves to do really well.
thank u for making this devon morris 🖤
it's getting near christmas – mick j. clark
The verdict
“mick j. clark delivers a brilliantly warm christmas single capturing the blend of the season's chaos and romance in one joyful swoop”
'it's getting near christmas' does exactly what a christmas song should: it builds anticipation. clark layers power pop hooks over soft rock warmth, channelling the beatles and the beach boys without ever slipping into pastiche. the track moves through stress and excitement and lands somewhere genuinely romantic, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. there's a brightness to the arrangement that keeps the whole thing buoyant, even when the lyrics acknowledge the madness of the season. clark handles vocals, guitar, drums and keys across the record, and the production gives everything room to breathe. it's a song that knows its job and does it with real charm.
mick j. clark is a croydon, uk based singer-songwriter signed to warner/chappell publishing and universal records operations. he's racked up over a million spotify streams and landed in the itunes singles chart six times, including a number three uk and number two usa placing for 'we know it's true'. his album 'causes' made it through to the 64th grammy nominations. beyond the chart runs, he's written empowering songs for children on bullying and self-harm, with tracks placed into schools across croydon by the local education department. a gem for the festive season.
thank u for making this mick j. clark 🎄
wait on me – jeremy parks
The verdict
“jeremy parks finds the beauty in standing still, turning patience into a deeply moving folk meditation”
'wait on me' strips everything back to voice and acoustic guitar, then asks you to sit with what remains. the song is about feeling behind, watching others race ahead while you're still figuring out where the path even is. we know the feeling mate. and parks doesn't dress that up or offer easy comfort; he just lets the feeling breathe. intimate and delivered beautifully; it's atmospheric folk with a real emotional weight. a lovely, affecting single.
friend of the blog jeremy parks is an atlanta-based singer-songwriter, back with us again after 'allison' last month. he wrote, produced and performed on this one, with niel brooks handling mix and mastering as well as bass, and dillon napier on drums. the whole thing came together in just a couple of days, which only makes the emotional depth more impressive. parks has a way of making vulnerability sound natural rather than forced, and that honesty runs through everything here. fantastic stuff.
thank u for making this jeremy parks 🍂
mighty man (jack de keyzer's rock'n'roll remix) – brian asha
The verdict
“brian asha and jack de keyzer unleash a brilliantly raw blues rock anthem that demands a whole lotta volume”
'mighty man (jack de keyzer's rock'n'roll remix)' opens with a real statement. no restraint, just guitar crunch, giant vocals and de keyzer's playing is all teeth, that high-signal blues grit he's spent four decades sharpening. somehow it's also kinda groovy - a feat for this level of rock and swagger. the track is built around a simple idea: get off your phone, go outside, do something that scares you a little. it sounds like an anthem because it is one, written for mighty irl, a movement aimed at pulling young men out of the dopamine loop and back into the world. philip larsen's remix keeps everything raw and punchy, never smoothing out the edges. it's a track that wants volume, and it earns it.
brian asha is a vancouver-based recording artist, author and youth advocate whose roots run through toronto's 1980s alternative scene and the 1990s rave movement. he splits his time between vancouver, toronto and san francisco, releasing through hot rod records. in 2026 he founded mighty irl, drawing on his own recovery and a decade working with young men in the criminal justice system. de keyzer brings four decades of blues grit to the table, a lifetime of experience that saturates every note. a huge tune.
