How October Sewn is expanding his dark-glow R&B universe
October Sewn's latest release - 'Dream', is a smooth alternative R&B cut that expands the world he began building with MACHINA. Auckland singer-songwriter Kristiyan Kolarski favours melodic vocals and synth-driven production that is rich, atmospheric, and shaped with late-night clarity. The track embraces sleek electronic layers that nod toward The Weeknd’s early work yet hold its unique personality through warped progressions and subtle shifts in texture.
Dream feels like an open door. October Sewn invites listeners into a space built on careful detail. The synths swell and bend. The rhythm sits deep and steady. The vocals glide across the surface with a sense of softness. The effect is immersive - a pathway into a universe that mixes emotionally driven storytelling with polished electronic design.
The track also reflects a growing partnership with producer Christopher Ingram. Their shared vision shows in the precision of the arrangement and the confidence in the mix. The release is followed with October Sewn’s debut show at Ponsonby Social Club on December 19th.
