January

January is the indie pop project of singer-songwriter Mackenzie Leighton, whose delicate vocals and candid lyricism carve out intimate spaces in songs like "the breakfast story" and "Hometown." Emerging from Philadelphia's DIY scene, their music blends dreamy synth textures with organic instrumentation, often exploring themes of mental health ("SERTRALINE"), nostalgia, and the quiet complexities of daily life. Recent releases like "ICYMI" and "Fluff Up" showcase a refined balance between bedroom pop vulnerability and polished production, cementing January as a voice for overthinkers and soft-hearted listeners. Their work frequently collaborates with artists like Jonah Summerfield (Hotel Ugly) while maintaining a distinctly personal, journal-entry quality.
