LOGAN releases debut EP

LOGAN is fast becoming one of the most compelling new voices in retro pop, originally hailing from North Carolina and now based in Los Angeles, her sound pulls from 20th-century soul while embracing the polish and punch of modern day pop. The result is a genre-fluid blend of vintage charm and cutting edge aesthetic that places her alongside the likes of Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Remi Wolf, not as a carbon copy, but as a new artist with her own presence.

Following a string of energetic LA shows and a sold-out East Coast tour, LOGAN now delivers her most fully realised work to date with Quarter Century Modern, a five-track EP that’s as emotionally impactful as it is sonically engaging. It’s a project that captures her voice, not just vocally, but artistically, in full technicolor.

Opening track “None of Your Business” lands with a defiant swagger; a jazzy pop anthem aimed squarely at anyone who’s ever questioned her ambitions, LOGAN uses the track to flip doubt into fuel. With a rhythm section that swings and vocals that sting, it’s an uncompromising mission statement. “This is my response to the question ‘How long will you try to ‘make it’ as a singer?’” she explains. And by the sound of it, she’s just getting started.

From there, the mood shifts with “Stranger,” a ballad that explores the quiet devastation of a friendship breakup. It’s a theme rarely given focus in pop music and LOGAN handles it with grace and vulnerability, pairing tender neo-soul melodies with nostalgic lyricism. The track feels like a late-night conversation with someone you used to know, achingly intimate and emotionally precise.

Then there’s “Finders Keepers,” where LOGAN turns pain into empowerment. Sparked by an unwanted message from an ex, the song doubles as both a personal boundary and a relatable reminder: self-worth isn’t up for negotiation. The beat grooves confidently beneath her sharp lyrical writing and stunning vocal delivery, delivering a track that feels like armour made of glitter.

“Over Under” throws us into the heat of the moment, a spontaneous night out, a questionable decision and the thrilling uncertainty of it all. LOGAN’s storytelling is vivid and visceral and the production mirrors the rush of the night with genre-blending intensity. It’s a track that dances between flirtation and fallout, seductive and self-aware in equal measure. The EP closes with “Special,” perhaps its most vulnerable offering, wrapped in modern jazz textures and subtle electronic touches, the track sees LOGAN in reflective mode, questioning the path she’s chosen and the cost of chasing something extraordinary. It’s a fitting finale that’s melancholic but not defeated, hopeful but not naive.

Throughout Quarter Century Modern, she presents a portrait of a young artist tackling life, loss, ambition and identity with remarkable clarity. LOGAN’s voice, gritty, golden and wholly her own, carries each track with emotional honesty and stylistic flair. It’s a project that knows exactly what it wants to say and how it wants to sound and in doing so, it firmly announces LOGAN as one to watch.
