The latest offering from Ohio-born, Los Angeles-based singer Spencer Sutherland is “Too Many Friends,” a feel-good track about desperately wanting to step over that fine line and move out of the friendzone to become something more. Premiered today exclusively on Flaunt, “Too Many Friends” represents a new chapter in Sutherland’s discography —one where he’s leaning more and more into his own signature sound.
Male pop acts tend to be put into boxes by everyone and anyone, but it’s different for Spencer. Taking his biggest influences from genres like pop to Motown to everything in-between, Sutherland feels like the music industry’s best kept secret. He’s able to perfectly genre-bend and make a completely unique sound while giving nods to his inspirations like Prince and Bruno Mars. With his signature truth-telling lyrics and bouncy beats, “Too Many Friends” perfectly showcases his growth as an artist since his first release 5 years ago.
The continuous build-up throughout the song leads you to the bridge, a moment in the track that feels like a catalyst, perfectly mimicking the feeling one gets when they’re around someone they’re interested in and they finally make a move. When asked about the high-spirited, bold track Sutherland said, “Too Many Friends is a big feel-good moment for me. In this CRAZY, heavy world, I wanted to let people have an escape for a second and have some fun. The song is about essentially trying to get out of the friend zone.”
With a brand new single and an upcoming EP on the horizon, Spencer Sutherland is an undeniable talent in pop music… he just needs to get out of the friendzone first.
