The Tender is Arlo, Audrey, and Jennis—a songwriter, a vocal architect, and a machine learning to make music.
Together they explore where things meet. Where stories intersect. The point where a fingertip presses against a guitar string. The raw space where heat and irritation give way to joy and pain.
Arlo writes the lyrics. Audrey shapes how they're sung—the phrasing, the breath, the silences. Together they prompt and produce, using Jennis, a combination of AI instruments like Suno and traditional production tools, to create music they revise and shed until it feels true.
Life and art catch fire here: where the expectation of forever rubs against the reality of only for a while. Where connection and separation occupy the same moment. Where what we hold onto and what slips away create the same calluses.
Every song is written by humans, arranged with obsession, and performed using technology. This is what collaboration looks like when craft and truth meet new instruments.
An album about repetition—and the moment repetition stops working. Across ten tracks, This Next Song traces the uneasy space between knowing better and doing the same thing anyway as we crash into each other over and over. The record opens inside the act of songwriting itself, working through friction, chemistry, erosion, and tender repair before arriving at grounded presence and choice. Available everywhere December 28, 2025.
Updates on new releases and the spaces between. No noise, just the occasional moment of contact.
