Album Insights

“Loner” will follow the producer’s debut LP, “When We Land?” from 2023. In a press release regarding his second album, the DJ shared: “If my first album was a collage of all the music I loved and was inspired by while growing up, then this album is the most authentic expression I could offer of myself and my life over the past year.”

The press release further explains that the LP will allow the DJ to “navigate and explore the world he finds himself in, making it a very personal album that delves into profound questions from both the creator and the audience.” A trailer for the album was also released, showcasing Barry (real name Joshua Maynny) sitting on a red plastic chair in a blue waiting room surrounded by three dogs and an array of award ribbons. Later scenes feature him reclining on a bed while a person in a tuxedo awards a figure dancing in the blue waiting room.
