18 AUGUST 2023 (TORONTO, ON) – Emerging as an acclaimed global phenomenon, Toronto based “collective” New West uncovers their moving new single “IYKYK” out now via Giant Music/Republic Records/Universal Music Canada. Listen HERE.

On the track, soft acoustic guitar sweeps across sparse piano as mesmerizing vocals take hold on the verses. Lyrically, it details the internal struggle to break down emotional walls and disclose raw feelings in a relationship. Amplified in a delicate high register, the anthemic hook assures, “While I try to describe how I feel tonight, while I try to find the perfect words, know I love you.”

It follows their 2023 fan favorite bundle, homecoming / in my city. The package has gathered millions of streams in addition to inciting critical applause. Right out of the gate, A1234 professed, “They’re soaring anthems that make you feel as if you’re flying through the sky, whilst remaining completely grounded within their ideology,” and promised “New West always brings the goods.”

New West continues to enchant audiences worldwide on tour as well. Beginning September 3 at Soundrenaline in Kota Jakarta Utara, Indonesia, they will support Kodaline at shows in Singapore and London.
