- “It glides on a lite-funk beat (with a bass line laid down by former Prince muse Wendy Melvoin) as Sombr lays out how he’s been strung along, including till-dawn fire-escape chats; while he’s sympathetic to his romantic rival, his all-in vocal indicates that he really, really wants to win.” — Rolling Stone review

Sombr will appear on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on June 27 and is expected to disclose the location of the free New York concert shortly before the event.
