Rising artist 19-year-old singer-songwriter and producer sombr debuts video for his hot new track back to friends.

“back to friends” continues to take off worldwide, debuting across three Billboard charts last month—a career first for the rising artist—where it has reached #10 on Hot Rock and #13 on Hot Rock & Alternative songs charts. The video co-starring model Charlotte D’Alessio can be watched here:

Since its release in December 2024, the track has accumulated over 71 million global streams across platforms—and continues to rapidly accelerate—entering Spotify’s U.S. and Global Daily Charts as the highest new entry. It’s hitting new peaks outside of the U.S., including in the U.K., where it’s rising on the Official Singles Chart Top 100, Canada, Australia and more.

sombr followed “back to friends” with another momentous single, “undressed,” last month. The song marks his second appearance on the Billboard charts—landing at #12 on Hot Rock Songs and #16 on Hot Rock & Alternative charts—as well as the Official U.K. Singles Chart—as one of the top 100 biggest singles of the week. Now with 16 million global streams, the track has been added to Spotify’s Pop Rising playlist where sombr currently graces the cover. Prior to release, “undressed” became his most reactive teaser on TikTok to date.

The new music arrives in the midst of a slew of spring dates across North America with Daniel Seavey, followed by a run in the U.K and Europe with Nessa Barrett that kicks off next month. See a complete list of dates below.

A New York-native raised on the Lower East Side, sombr—born Shane Boose—started making music in his bedroom while studying classical music as a student at the prestigious public school, LaGuardia High School. His breakout hit “Caroline” (2022) took the internet by storm, and he has since released a series of EPs and singles, climbing to over 13 million Spotify monthly listeners. Now based in Los Angeles, sombr continues to explore young romance and heartbreak through his music—all of which is self-written and released via Warner Records.
