BOSS MODE by Lovespirals

"Boss Mode" is a slow-burn seduction of heartache and strength—an intimate blend of neo-soul, introspective dream pop, and soulful electronica. Ryan and Anji Lum return with a track that signals a radiant shift from the darker introspection of previous singles like “Not Myself” and “Noumenon.”

Anji delivers a quietly emotive vocal performance with a surprising melodic rap bridge that uses gaming metaphors—“like boss mode, low health, no refill”—to explore emotional burnout and the quiet courage of letting go. Her silky smooth vocals glide effortlessly over Ryan’s dreamy guitar textures and laid-back funky rhythms, creating a soundscape that’s both sensual and melancholic, moody yet hopeful.

Coated in lush guitar and string machine, crisp beats, and subtle vintage flair, “Boss Mode” bridges past heartbreak with renewed strength. For fans of downtempo electronica, introspective soul, and quietly defiant anthems, this is your next soundtrack for survival.

Lifelong Angelinos, Ryan and Anji Lum, have collaborated since 1999 on fiercely independent music that blends dream pop and electronica with jazz, blues, soul, or whatever else inspires them. Begun as Love Spirals Downwards on Projekt Records, the duo soon struck out on their own Chillcuts imprint releasing music, videos, and podcasts under both band names, as well as Anji Bee solo material.
