Hailing from Toronto, the artist Wardrobe is laying the groundwork for 2025 with his latest drop, “Better Days,” a soul-stirring and alternative pop ballad that pairs with some effortlessly compelling bars from Canadian rapper Aquakultre. Shared with the world through Kids Table Recordings, this song isn’t simply a taste of what to expect from Wardrobe’s upcoming record slated for release in May 2025 but a poignant meditation on growth, resilience, and the ever-changing quest of self-discovery.
From its opening note, “Better Days” immerses listeners in a soundscape of warm, soulful horns and infectious, funky guitar riffs. The production is a deep exhale, a reminder that better days are attainable. Wardrobe’s fluid delivery steers us along a path of introspection, maintaining a careful balance between nostalgia and hope. The song recognizes life’s setbacks but chooses not to linger in them but to provide an encouraging shove to reinvention.
Aquakultre’s verse is the song’s anchor, holder of its message through raw, cathartic lyricism. Telling with such fluidity, he moves through newfound truths about himself, beckoning all of us to witness how we, too, have evolved and that we are the ones choosing our story. His words linger, turning “Better Days” into a chat with an old friend who reminds you of your progress.
What distinguishes “Better Days” is how it resonates on several levels. It’s a breezy groove for an afternoon drive with the windows down, but it packs an emotional punch of a moment. Wardrobe and Aquakultre have created something special, not just something that sounds good but feels good.
