aron!: Too Close For Running (140 g) (LP)

From internet sensation to extraordinary songwriter: The 23-year-old American aron! presents one of the most remarkable pop debuts of recent years with his album *Verve*. He first gained recognition on social media, where his performance videos on TikTok and Instagram reached an audience of millions. With singles like “Cozy You” and “Wonderful Thing,” he already hinted at his extraordinary knack for great melodies, sophisticated harmonies, and timeless songwriting. On “Too Close For Running,” aron! now blends classic pop with influences from jazz and the Great American Songbook, infusing it with the lightness of a new generation. Musically, he’s in the vein of artists like Laufey, dodie, and Mei Semones—the latter two even appear as guest artists on his debut album.
