SunSkip, the project of singer-songwriter Sean Maljanian, returns with “Sincerely,” a richly textured single that balances heartfelt storytelling with adventurous musical choices. Stepping beyond the hushed intimacy of his earlier EP Smoke and Mirrors, Maljanian leans into a fuller folk-meets–alt-country sound that feels lived-in, curious, and emotionally open. The result is a song that invites listeners not just to hear it, but to step inside its world.
A Story That Feels Real and Human
The narrative correspondence between John and Sue explores aging, quiet tension, and lasting connection with subtlety and care. It’s storytelling that trusts the listener, letting meaning unfold naturally rather than spelling everything out.
A Fresh Evolution of SunSkip’s Sound
Moving past the subdued tones of earlier releases, “Sincerely” introduces a more driving alt-country energy while still honoring its folk roots—showing Maljanian’s growth without losing his emotional core.
Inventive, Playful Production Choices
Producer Kory Burrel’s use of unconventional percussion—bottles, cardboard boxes, and other found sounds—adds texture and spontaneity, creating a soundscape that feels alive and unpredictable.
Warm, Expressive Vocals
Maljanian’s vocal performance is intimate yet confident, carrying emotional nuance without ever becoming heavy-handed. His delivery makes the characters and their experiences feel close and believable.
A Balance of Joy and Reflection
“Sincerely” manages to be both tender and celebratory, capturing life’s complexities with honesty and warmth. It’s the kind of song that rewards close listening while still feeling effortless and inviting.
