Hovvdy's Latest Single 'Portrait' Infuses Mellow Country Tones in Their Growing Discography

Published December 26, 2023

The music duo Hovvdy has recently unveiled their newest single titled 'Portrait,' following closely behind a couple of other releases this year. This latest track greets listeners with a relaxed acoustic guitar and the soft, slightly twangy vocals typical of country music, allowing the melody and words to take center stage.

'Portrait' surfaced to welcome the new year, as mentioned in a post on their Instagram account. The lyrics paint vivid scenes and emotions with lines like, 'It is hard to forget how it went that night / Silhouettes burning out / Broken like glass from the second floor / Washed by a rush when the flooding came down, down, down.'

The chorus further delves into the narrative with heartfelt contemplation: 'Your eyes are talking / And they don’t seem fine to me / May as well be walking / Away with your eyes turned from me / Away with your eyes turned from me.' The new track has been compared to the ambience of a John Mayer song, making it a perfect addition to any laid-back playlist or coffee shop background music.

It appears that Hovvdy is preparing for their next major project, presumably their fifth studio album, as indicated by Genius. The recent singles offer a taste of what fans can expect from the band's evolving sound. Previously released 'Bubba' delved into the complexities of sibling relationships, an exploration reflected in band member Charlie Martin's commentary on growing older and each person's unique way of coping.

Beyond their music releases, Hovvdy is also looking forward to touring, where they will join Cold War Kids on stage. Details for their upcoming tour dates and locations can be sought out for those interested in experiencing their sound live.

Hovvdy's new single 'Portrait' exemplifies their characteristic soothing vibe and is now available for fans and new listeners alike to enjoy.
