Ian Abel is back with their first single of 2025 “Not Our Song”. Abel is the queer fantasy lovechild of an East Village comic book nerd with a heart of gold. With a velvety and sensual voice, his psychedelic electro-pop arrangements could be compared to Sam Smith mixed with Robyn.
The new year has only just begun, and Brooklyn-based artist Ian Abel is ready to inspire all the queerdos out there to kick their selfish, good-for-nothing exes to the curb. A song that many of us need to hear right now.
This track is short-but-sweet and full of double entendre. “I wanted to write about how a tired relationship can be like getting a song stuck in your head and sometimes the best way to get it out is to play that song one last time” says Abel. It’s the perfect we are never getting back together bop!
The beat of this song is truly infectious and you won’t be able to just listen to it once! Mixing the dance beat with fun vocals is always a vibe. Catch Ian Abel playing shows this year all over New York! We can’t wait for their next release!
