LA-raised, Berlin-based by way of Brooklyn, queer “gentle folk” purveyor Hayfitz, announces “What’s Wrong” via Vienna, Austria-based SeaYou Records. With a brave idea, Hayfitz sought ultimate closure by isolating in a cabin for three weeks to record and co-produce his forthcoming sophomore album, Everything Else (Out 10/6/23), with the very person it was written about. A lengthy path towards his late-discovered queer identity via an unrequited love with collaborator-turned-best friend, Sam Cope, Hayfitz details a confusing, often excruciating three-year period following a chapter of necessary separation and eventual reunion between the friends.
With a gorgeous vocal whisper, teetering between a falsetto rejoice and confessional poetic musing, Hayfitz brings us the intense new single, “What’s Wrong”. Forged in a storm of emotion, the song is focused and free, raw and alive. Lyrically we find ourselves in a concise and delicate puzzle piece of interpersonal outbursts. Simply put, “What’s Wrong” is a brave artistic timepiece.
