Ferry Townes – “Times Two”

Born as Julia Gargano and hailing from Staten Island, this singer and songwriter named herself as a homage to the Staten Island Ferry she had to take daily to go to school. Since embarking on her journey pursuing a musical career, she was a contestant on Season 18 of American Idol in 2020, finishing in the top 7. She’s been channelling her own raw, unfiltered emotions into her songs. Reminiscent of bands like HAIM and boygenius, she released her debut single “Be Here” in 2024.

Lyrically capturing the intense emotions heartbreak can bring, her new single wishes that everything bad the ex has done, will come back at them twofold. Taken from her upcoming debut album “Side Effects Of Happiness”, expected on July 26th, she’s used a clever multi-layered melody to emphasize the emotive rollercoaster. Starting with a gentle piano and her stirring vocals, the song ascends into a jumpy pop chorus before slowing things down again, creating an anthemic pop vibrancy.
