New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The upcoming pop superstar Andye releases his latest single, '6:25' via Universal Music. "This record feels like a turning point," says Andye. "I'm not hiding behind anything with this one—it's vulnerable, soulful, and exactly where I'm at right now. I hope people can hear themselves in it too. I've always loved music that makes you feel something, and that's what I tried to do here. This one's honest and a little raw. I'm proud of it, nervous about it, and excited to finally share it."
The title '6:25' refers to the series of numbers that has appeared for Andye throughout the process of creating both this track and upcoming releases. The title appears throughout the track's campaign, including the visualizer that arrives alongside the track's release today.
'6:25' is a stripped-back track, a theme that carries through to the accompanying visuals. "The visualizer isn't over the top—it's just movement and pure feeling. That kind of intimacy really sticks with you," says Andye.
Following his previous cinematic music videos for "All To Myself" and "Hopeless Sinners," the visualizer for "6:25" stays true to the cinematic vision of the Andye universe.
Andye is just getting started. With only a few releases, the Ethiopian-born and Toronto-raised singer and dancer has already accumulated over 7.6 million streams across all platforms—in addition to his 2.2 million likes on TikTok and over 700,000 views on YouTube.
Among Andye's chief sonic influences are The Weeknd's dark, raw sounds and storytelling and the distinct artistry of Michael Jackson. He dreams of collaborating with producers like Doc McKinney (known for working with The Weeknd).
With his eyes trained relentlessly forward, blinkered to any mental or physical obstacles that might trip up a less concentrated artist, Andye spurs himself toward his goals. He knows they are achievable, simply because he believes he'll get there in the end. "I want to break records," he says matter-of-factly. "I want to be the best I can be. The way people say, 'I want to do this like Michael'—in 10 years, I want them to be like, 'this sounds like Andye'. I want my music to have that type of impact."
