Finn Askew returns with his latest single “Distance,” produced by Ezra Skys—known for work with artists like Odeal, Central Cee, and BXKS—offering a first glimpse of the direction he’s heading in ahead of his forthcoming mixtape, due this April.
With “Distance,” Finn pivots away from the tone of his recent material, delivering something more mischievous and emotionally charged. The track leans into a push-and-pull dynamic, embracing a deliberately messy, slightly toxic energy that thrives on tension and attitude. Rather than pulling from a specific personal experience, he approaches the song from a conceptual standpoint, tapping into a chaotic emotional headspace to shape its mood. The result feels tailor-made for late-night listening—capturing that hazy, impulsive energy where emotions run high and boundaries blur.
Having spent time refining and reshaping his sound, Finn now finds himself in a space where his vocal style sits comfortably within an R&B framework. By weaving in elements of pop with more soulful textures, he’s developed a sound that feels both fluid and authentic—an instinctive blend that reflects his ongoing artistic evolution.
