From the back streets of Brooklyn rises a sound that stretches from the depths of indie folk to the pure tones of lo-fi pop: Avery Friedman. Released on April 18, 2025, his debut album New Thing pours his inner journey, quest for identity, and emotional transformation into music. With every note, a piece of the past, with every melody, a step into a new future. New Thing is undoubtedly more than just a personal discovery.
"New Thing" – The Sound of Rebirth
New Thing is truly an awakening. The album tells the story of a lost and then rediscovered identity on the journey of life. Avery's vocals echo with a voice that sometimes carries the weight of the past, yet is full of hope. Particularly songs like "Gone" and "Falling Stars" take the listener on an inner journey with their emotional intensity. In these tracks, it’s possible to explore a lost love, a dream, or perhaps a moment of self-discovery.
"Gone" – A Light Behind Closed Doors
"Gone" is one of the most impactful moments of the album. The moment the song starts, echoes of past traces and abandoned dreams can be heard. Avery’s vocals rise, both sorrowful and powerful. This song isn’t about someone who is lost but about an identity we once had but no longer with us.
The rhythms move slowly but steadily, almost as if they’re intoxicating the listener. The emotional depth of the track carries a meaning much deeper than the end of a love. Sometimes losing is the first step to finding something again.
