A’shon Galaxy wades into the spotlight with “More Than Only Friends,” a sultry, genre-hopping new single that is at once timeless and emotionally powerful. Effortlessly blending jazz, soul, and R&B into a slick, after-hours groove, the track finds the singer-songwriter documenting the silent frustration of wanting more from someone who may see you only as a friend.
The music pulses along at an even, steady rate, soulful if not quite restrained, calm on the outside, and seething with desire underneath. Galaxy’s touch is close and controlled, allowing the sentiment to breathe rather than trying to drag things out for grand dramatic peaks. It’s that subtlety which transports the track, reflecting the real-life tension of unspoken want, where feelings linger rather than explode.
The production holds fast to warmth and texture, and the song has a cozy, nighttime feel that seamlessly slides into chill, soulful, or late-night playlists. There’s a classicist R&B elegance to the pacing, but it maintains a jazz-inflected fluidity that is modern and emotionally present. It’s that sort of track you would listen to on a quiet drive, or when your thoughts turn inward, and feelings suddenly feel heavier, more real.
"More Than Only Friends" distinguishes itself not by barking but by confiding. It’s a song that appreciates restraint, openness, and the muddy gray area between connection and confession. On this release, A’shon Galaxy shows they have a way with emotional subtlety, writing a hushed, relatable track that feels both comforting and smooth, it’s like someone slid you a velvet-sound confession.
