Tony Lio gets personal on his latest single, and it pays off, and “Better to Sleep” doesn’t hide behind anything – just straightforward songwriting that lands exactly how it should. He’s gone minimal here, which actually makes the emotion hit harder. You can tell he put real thought into this one.

Getting back together with producer Christopher Kapshock after three years apart was a smart call. They’ve got history, and you can hear it in how natural everything sounds and Mackie June’s vocals really elevate this track too. Her harmonies bring a different texture that balances out Lio’s voice in a way that just clicks.

Those moments when staying asleep sounds way better than facing your problems. Lio handles it without overcomplicating things. It’s reflective without dragging you down, simple without being boring. You can hear how much he’s developed since his earlier work.
