“Every song should be made with excitement, playfulness, or else just don’t do it,” says Montreal-based pop savant Soran. His new LP, Loneliness Confetti (due March 15 2024), fittingly drips with ‘80s-vintage synthpop, Prince swagger, and maximalist modern pop wonder alike. The eight-track set is the latest statement of genius from a rapidly ascending multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and lyricist stepping further into the spotlight.

“These songs are just like time capsules, a place to contain so many ideas at once,” Soran says. Never content with an unforgettable hook or dense production wonderland, each listen to Loneliness Confetti uncovers some new joy while ingraining its earnest lyrics deep in the heart.
