Emerging solo artist Will Pogue shines a light with "Sleepless," the single he released on April 12th, 2025. This stirring, emotionally driven record highlights the strength we find in the moments that take place in the middle of the night and the conversations that we have with ourselves when it's the loneliest.
"Sleepless" is a diary entry in melody form, a slow-burning meditation on personal metamorphoses made in the quiet of self-examination. From its ethereal opening notes to the haunting fade-out, Pogue captures a universal ache that feels intimate and cinematic. From what we've heard and seen, the production was recorded in a prestigious studio at Dallas Baptist University. "Sleepless" is clean without losing the pure rawness that makes it so gut-wrenching. Unsurprisingly, the track debuted at the Dallas Baptist Music Business Showcase, where it was a profound highlight moment, both powerful and authoritative in the performance.
Pogue's lived-in, weary-but-hopeful vocals gave the track its character. You can hear the years in it, the writing, the rewriting, the sleepless nights, and small victories that went into its making. The track has the feel of turning the last page on a long chapter, or of stepping into the next one with guarded optimism.
