There's something refreshingly genuine about reality, and Missoury brings that brutal honesty to the forefront in his latest track, "We Friends," which includes the smooth stylings of Doobieboy Spliff. "We Friends" is a moment, a truth, and a twist you didn't see coming, yet I bet you've lived it yourself deep down.
"We Friends" is about what to do when you're "just friends" with someone until you're not. A breezy fusion of laid-back melodic flows and bare-all storytelling, the track distills the emotional chaos of a relationship caught in the blurry space between platonic and passionate. It's not a love song, a heartbreak anthem, or the middle gray we barely talk about.
Missoury sides with openness and nuance in opening the door to his world with this track, sharing something about his life that people could relate to. He doesn't hide behind metaphors. He leans into them. He offers listeners a window into a situation many have been in, except discovering that a friendship is potentially more than it seems, wondering, Where do we go from here?
Doobieboy Spliff hops on with his trademark bravado, adding an elevated groove and sexy counterpoint to Missoury's ruminative vibe. Together, they capture a dynamic chemistry that reflects the song's push/pull drama, unexpected but somehow organic.
