Looking for a chic, cool neo-soul track that sounds like it belongs in the background of a hipster café?
Meet Danny Kuttner, an alt-soul artist born in Amsterdam and raised in Israel. Her latest single, “Friendzone,” is so effortlessly chill and breathtaking, it’ll have you wondering why all music doesn’t feel this calming and centering.
Opening with soft vocal hums and grounding electric guitar, the track eases into Kuttner’s breathy yet poignant vocals—like a deep exhale you didn’t know you needed.
The beat is groovy, leaning into a Brazilian jazz motif that keeps the rhythm easy-breezy, like a summer afternoon by the pool.
At just 2 minutes and 48 seconds, this short but mighty track is memorable, beautiful, and expertly gentle—blending sonic elements that melt together with no effort at all.
It’s a standout effort from Kuttner and a testament to her mastery of the “less is more” approach.
