Late Night Feelings, the project of Brooklyn-born, New Jersey–based songwriter Karan Naik, returns with In Your Dreams, an EP that feels less like a collection of songs and more like a shared state of mind. Drifting somewhere between wakefulness and sleep, the six-track release deepens Naik’s reputation for crafting bedroom pop that thrives on intimacy, atmosphere, and emotional nuance.
Following his 2021 debut Heartbreak Hotel, In Your Dreams expands the Late Night Feelings universe without losing its quiet core. Soft-focus synths, hazy guitars, and understated beats form a nocturnal palette, allowing Naik’s confessional songwriting to take centre stage. His voice rarely demands attention; instead, it draws you closer, inviting listeners into the half-lit spaces where thoughts linger longest.
The EP moves fluidly through shifting emotional terrain. There are moments of gentle optimism, where melodies lift and shimmer, and others that sit heavy with longing and distance. Standout single “Heartstopper” encapsulates this duality perfectly, pairing warm, glowing production with lyrics that ache with sincerity. It’s the sound of vulnerability wrapped in hope, lingering long after the final note fades.
Lyrically, In Your Dreams explores the blurred line between reality and the subconscious. Love, loss, and memory bleed into one another, capturing the restless feeling of sleepless nights spent replaying moments that never quite let go. Naik’s writing doesn’t over-explain; it trusts the listener to fill in the spaces, making each track feel personal in its own way.
With In Your Dreams, Late Night Feelings continues to prove that quiet music can speak the loudest. It’s an EP made for late hours and reflective moods, reaffirming Karan Naik as an artist who understands the power of restraint, and the beauty that lives in life’s in-between moments.
