Released on August 22, 2024, the new single “R U BLUE?” by Archi, a lofi indie artist, has gotten completely stuck in my head and I can’t seem to get it out. “R U BLUE?” is a gorgeous, synth-filled track that shows off Archi’s songwriting and lyrical talents, the soft drum beat and vocal samples blending perfectly together, Archi’s voice mixed for this beautiful, dreamy sound. This entire song is truly ethereal – Archi’s ability to hit high notes is spotlit in this song and the soft, twinkly, melodic synth that fills the end of the song is completely unforgettable. I really, really love this track, and it feels perfect for the weather beginning to get colder – I walk the leaf-lined paths of my college campus to this track, holding myself close against the chilly breeze, Archi’s “R U BLUE?” creating the perfect soundtrack for that moment. I firmly believe that Archi is an incredible and amazingly talented musician and that everyone should take a second to listen to “R U BLUE?”.
