Indie folk and alt-country artist SunSkip is back with a vibrant new single, “Sincerely,” marking a bold step beyond the quiet introspection of his EP Smoke and Mirrors. Originally envisioned as a simple idea, the track quickly evolved into a full-blown folk-rock barn burner, blending heartfelt storytelling with a lively, honky-tonk energy that’s impossible not to move to. The single is available now across all major streaming platforms.
Rooted in the intimacy of handwritten letters, “Sincerely” tells the story of John and Sue, two characters exchanging notes later in life. While their words may seem gentle on the surface, the song reveals the unspoken emotional weight of growing older—the complexities, regrets, and quiet struggles that often go unshared. SunSkip’s warm, expressive vocals guide listeners through this tender narrative, balancing vulnerability with a spirited musical drive.
The recording sessions with producer Kory Burrel were as inventive as they were energetic, with unconventional percussion using bottles, pans, and even a giant cardboard box. This playful, off-the-rails approach gave the song a unique texture, perfectly complementing its emotional depth. The result is a track that feels simultaneously intimate and electrifying, showcasing SunSkip’s ability to merge heartfelt storytelling with infectious rhythm.
With “Sincerely,” SunSkip demonstrates a new chapter in his artistry—one that embraces both emotional honesty and musical experimentation. It’s a song that invites listeners to feel, reflect, and, most importantly, move along, proving that indie folk and alt-country can still surprise with bold, kinetic energy.
