Lovespirals unveil a lush reimagining with “Will It Ever Be The Same (VIP Mix).” A favorite of Lum’s from their 2018 album Life Goes On, the duo elevates the original’s brooding beauty with a richer, moodier production taking advantage of their current studio arsenal. New to this version is a hypnotic vocal sample—“tell me, tell me…”—looped throughout, adding a modern rhythmic hook, while subtle 808 percussion lifts the stately dream pop track into a more contemporary space. Anji Bee’s haunting vocals express a yearning for connection, echoing into the cosmos with aching clarity. A modern classic reborn.

Out now on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music.

Ryan & Anji Lum revisit their 2022 single, “The Call,” with an even moodier and more atmospheric 2025 reboot. The new VIP Mix amplifies the song’s shoegaze and dream pop essence with a bigger, bolder guitar sound and more immersive ethereal vocal harmonies. The hook-laden guitar lead and spacey synths evoke The Cure, while the track’s melancholic yet driving energy harks back to Ryan’s early 90s work, as well as the duo’s 2018 album, ‘Life Goes On.’ Anji’s emotive vocals shift effortlessly between bold confidence and dreamy sincerity, adding depth to the song’s hypnotic pull. A nostalgic yet refreshed take, this version of “The Call” is a hauntingly beautiful throwback with a modern twist.

Out now on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple, Amazon, YouTube, and other digital platforms.
