Sydney's rising star, SIMON.VOO, is back with his second single, ‘How I Almost Lost You’, a poignant track that dives into the fragile nature of love and the fear of its potential demise. Following the promising debut of ‘All I Feel Is Mine’, this new release solidifies SIMON.VOO's place as an artist unafraid to explore complex emotions through his music.
‘How I Almost Lost You’ demonstrates SIMON.VOO's growth, combining evocative vocals with atmospheric production to create an intimate listening experience. The narrative centres on a relationship that narrowly escaped collapse, saved by a moment of shared vulnerability and understanding. The song captures the raw emotion of such a close call, exploring the anxieties and relief that accompany such an experience.
The track, expertly recorded, mixed, and mastered by Paul Stefanidis at Viking Lounge Mastering, possesses a nostalgic undercurrent woven into its modern alternative-pop framework. Listeners will find themselves drawn into the sonic landscape, reminiscent of artists like Jeff Buckley, Talking Heads, and Tears For Fears, yet distinctly SIMON.VOO. He masterfully blends these influences, crafting a sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly unique.
SIMON.VOO, the brainchild of Simon Wyrembak, is a project born from over two decades of musical experience. Wyrembak's journey has taken him from Poland to Australia, where he now embarks on this new chapter. His past work includes involvement in bands such as Killers in Red, YOY, and Wyremfunk, resulting in four LPs, numerous EPs and singles, and countless live performances.
‘How I Almost Lost You’ follows his debut single ‘All I Feel Is Mine’, which premiered in January 2025 alongside a music video, showcasing a blend of alternative pop and rock, laced with raw emotion, melodic guitars, and heartfelt vocals. His sound is a fusion of 80s nostalgia and contemporary influences, drawing inspiration from indie, funk, and even electronic music.
‘How I Almost Lost You' is available now on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music. For those eager to find out more about SIMON.VOO, be sure to check out his website or find him on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
