The rising multi-hyphenate blends Alternative R&B and Indie Pop as he builds momentum ahead of Summer dates with Nick Jonas.

Emerging singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Magnus Ferrell is tapping into restless romance on his dreamy new single, ‘Asleep Talking’, out now via Republic Records. The 22-year-old artist continues carving out a hazy, emotionally charged lane, pairing silky Alternative R&B textures with floating Indie Pop melodies.
Built around insomnia, infatuation and the blur between memory and desire, ‘Asleep Talking’ captures the ache of staying up thinking about someone who may be thinking about you too. The song feels intimate, vulnerable and atmospheric, pulling listeners into Magnus’ late-night world of unanswered questions and unfinished feelings.
The release marks his first offering of 2026 and follows ‘Miss Me Vendetta’, a breakout moment that pushed his growing momentum even further. Whilst still early in his ascent, Magnus is already showing the instincts of an artist building something distinct.
‘Asleep Talking’ lands just ahead of his upcoming June support run with Nick Jonas, giving the single added lift as he introduces his dreamy sonic universe to wider audiences on the road.
