“Endless Days” is a raw, hypnotic masterpiece that fuses heartbreak with unrelenting beauty.
An artist whose name has been quietly simmering in the underground scene finally dropped a track that’s impossible to ignore. "Endless Days", the debut single from a Berlin-based musician, pulls you in with a stunning blend of haunting melodies, driving synths, and a rawness that only comes from truly living through the emotion you’re singing about.
Recorded in the very flat where the artist lived through a heartbreaking breakup, the song captures the unraveling of a relationship with such intensity and honesty, it feels almost too intimate. We spoke with the artist behind this breathtaking track to dive deeper into the layers of creativity, emotion, and vulnerability that fuel "Endless Days". From the first time they realized the power of their voice to the bold, genre-blurring decisions that make this song a standout, the conversation is nothing short of revealing. How did they turn the weight of heartbreak into music that feels as much like catharsis as it does a celebration of survival? What part did their team play in bringing the vision to life? And what is it about their approach to music that feels like a conversation between vulnerability and strength?
Through their journey, the artist speaks openly about vulnerability, self-doubt, and the transformation of personal experience into art.
With a teaser of what’s to come in the full album, we get an exclusive look at what makes this artist tick, and what fans should expect next. Trust us, this is just the beginning.

Begin Interview:
Hello Nathan Crowe, we’re thrilled to have you here for this interview! We've had an amazing time exploring your music and diving into your creative journey. Now, we’re even more intrigued to get a deeper look into both your brand and your personal and professional inspirations.
Q. We loved “Endless Days,” but after experiencing the music video, we were even more hooked on you. The lighted spinning wheel visual opening with the heavy reverberated bass in the nighttime background was so alluring. We especially loved your vocals—so captivating and hypnotic. The swift edits and multiples of yourself, along with the explosive harmony moment, created an absolutely magical production touch. We really felt like this is a true standout music video. It truly captures the feel of what relationships do to your brain. When did you first realize the power of your voice, and what moment transformed it from a personal, intimate expression to a tool for sharing your story with the world, ultimately laying the foundation for the impactful career we see today?
A. I never really sang until about a year ago, and developed my voice slowly. I went through a big break-up which also influenced my soft singing style at the beginning. By the time I recorded my vocals for this song, I had an issue with how held back my voice sounded, so my partner suggested I shout the bridge. I remember doing a double take in the studio when I tried it and realised that I can actually belt!
Q. Can you tell us how you landed on the title of “Endless Days”? Was it your first choice, or did it evolve over time? What does this title mean to you?
A. At first this song was called “Untitled”, and I didn’t really know what to call it. When I defined the shouty bridge, I realised that the song had taken on a new life than just being a breakup song. It meant more to me in the context of breaking free from the pain of a breakup. I think the title “Endless Days” reflects that feeling of breaking free, whether you want to see it as a grand gesture of freedom, or as a cage in itself.
Q. Could you describe the emotional journey that led you to write this song? How did you channel those emotions into your music?
A: I was in a pretty deep low when I wrote this song, so I just know it came from a place of near desperation, and writing a song about those feelings was a comfort at the time. The demo was a lot lower in energy than the finished version though for sure.
Q. What was unique about the way you recorded and produced Endless Days in your flat?
A. There is nothing unique about bedroom produced music, its a practice of necessity. Out of that necessity beautiful things can grow, but I think should be nothing special about where the growth happens. I want to be able to create anywhere.
Q. You used a cello note as a driving bass throughout the song and we loved it. Can you tell us more about how you came up with that idea?
A. I think cellos have this wonderful stature and shape that embodies the exact sound you’d expect from the instrument. I wanted this song to have a vehicle that draws a line from start to finish, so a sound of that stature was fitting.
Q. What role did your collaborators, such as Craig Sheridan and Noah Bene, play in bringing your vision for the track to life?
A.I’m very grateful to have had the chance to work with some great people, Craig, Noah and Nico all helped immensely. Craig with mixing, Noah with filming and Nico with grading. Making a music video is a lot of work, so I couldn’t have done it alone. I also couldn’t have done it without the unwavering support of my partner in crime Alessia, who also stars in the music video.
Q. The lyrics of Endless Days touch on self-doubt and vulnerability. Are these feelings you experience or rather observe in others and how does this influence the themes you explore in your music?
A. Both. I believe that to doubt yourself is to be reflective, and I think vulnerability allows for connection with others. If either feeling gets too much it can be torturous, true. But both are part of being human. People like to pretend they are completely in control and confident 100% of the time, and we are encouraged to act like that way by every facet of society. At the same time, loneliness and disconnection are more widespread than ever before. I think people just don’t want to come across as sad. But it doesn’t have to be a mark of shame, and I want to explore that in my music. You can be proud to feel, even the sad emotions.
Q. Can you tell us your full musical genre journey? Is this particular musical genre styling something you’ve always embraced from the very beginning of your journey, or has it evolved over time from influences or other genres you experimented with earlier?
A. This song in particular is a bit of a mesh from the electronic beats I produced a few years ago, and the new direction I am going in with my music today. I want to write stories and tell them with lyrics, but it’s very new to me to make music this way. I would say this style is more of a farewell to the old direction I had, and also a hello to the new path I’m taking.
Q. Since “Endless Days” speaks to a lot of emotional complexity, does it ever feel difficult to reveal so much of yourself in such a comment and judgment-driven world, or do you find it liberating to express that level of vulnerability through your music?
A. For me, its not a question of difficulty, since I think I could not survive if I didn’t express myself. It has nothing to do with other peoples opinions, since the only judgement that could matter is my own judgment of myself in the case that I would not express those feelings.
Q. As a teaser description, what would you tell someone about this song to intrigue them about it’s meaning if you only had 1 sentence to get them interested in listening to it?
A. If Tears for Fears and The Smiths had a Techno baby, would you want to hear it cry?
Q. Do you visualize scenes or stories when you write, and how much does the imagery guide your lyrics?
A. I actually don’t tend to visualise stories as much, its more a case of feeling a certain way, and in that moment the lyrics come to me. Whatever thoughts in the background of my mind fit with the feeling of the moment, and the pull of the music, then become the base for a songwriting session.
Q. Where does the magic of your music production begin? Do you kick things off in your home studio, or do you team up with an outside producer? And when it's time to wrap things up, do you handle the mixing and mastering yourself, or bring in someone to help perfect it?
A. I do most of it myself, only really bringing anyone else in when its time to mix/master. I would love to have a music community that I can spend enough time with to really collaborate on things, but I don’t know where to find that, and even if I did I feel it would end up actually taking away from the time that I need in oder to produce music myself. So its a question of community v productivity, but I kinda wish I could do both and still think I will find that eventually.
Q. How does making music make you feel? Does this song come from a real experience, and does performing it allow healing of the feelings that created it, or does it make them resurface?
A. It’s incredibly cathartic to make music even if that song allow feelings to resurface, through expression I become comfortable with that emotion. The bad experience isn’t that bad anymore, the big scary emotion I dealt alone with isn’t that big and scary anymore by writing a song about it.
Q. Do you have a go-to instrument that serves as the foundational starting point for your music? How does the chosen instrument influence the direction and overall sound of the compositions?
A. I usually compose music with a guitar. But this song was actually written on piano. The instrument that I use to write has a voice of its own. It also varies due to different skill levels I have with different instruments. That lends its own sort of character to the songwriting process.
Q. When meeting someone for the first time and they ask what kind of music you make, what’s the first thing you say?
A. Indie-Pop. The good kind.
Q. And finally, we can’t thank you enough for sharing these intimate details! So, what's next? Can you give us the inside scoop on your upcoming projects and what fans should be excited about? We'd love to be the first to share the news!
A. I’m planning to consistently release singles for the next few months, with an EP coming up after those first few releases. I want to give my listened something to look forward to regularly. So I want to make music sustainably and not burn out on the first push. I’m looking forward to developing my sound, and am excited to share my next few projects with you all! Thanks so much for having me!
Nathan Crowe, thank you so much, we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us!
