“‘Don’t Waste My Time (LA mix)’ feels like a line drawn in the sand — sharp, soulful, and direct, built on instinct and lived experience rather than polish alone.”
4fro Nick returns with Don’t Waste My Time (LA mix), a single that sits at the centre of a limited edition 7-inch vinyl release arriving June 16th. It’s a track built on clarity of intent. Nothing here feels vague or hesitant. The message is direct, and the performance follows the same path.
There’s a strong sense of identity running through the song. Blending indie rock, soul, and modern pop, it carries a steady confidence without losing emotional depth. The vocals feel expressive and slightly unfiltered, which works in its favour. They don’t try to smooth out every edge. Instead, they lean into feeling. The guitar work is clean but full of character. It doesn’t dominate the track, but it anchors it. You can hear a subtle groove underneath, which gives the song a pulse that keeps it moving forward. The rhythm feels natural rather than overly constructed, which helps the track stay grounded. Don’t Waste My Time is about boundaries. It speaks to the moment someone decides their time and energy are no longer up for negotiation. That idea is simple, but the way it is delivered gives it weight. It feels personal, almost like a conversation with oneself as much as with anyone else.
There’s also a clear emotional thread connecting both sides of the vinyl release. The B-side Get There Before Noon (LA2 mix) extends the same mindset in a different direction. Where the A-side is assertive and reflective, the B-side feels more urgent and restless, focused on living fully in the present. What stands out across both tracks is the balance between control and looseness. The performances feel lived-in, not overworked. There’s a human quality that keeps the songs from becoming too polished or distant. Featuring contributions from musicians like Leo Genovese, Johnny Radelat, and George Athanas, the production has a depth that supports the songwriting without overwhelming it. These details never turn into excess. They serve the song first. 4fro Nick’s strength here lies in simplicity. He doesn’t overload the listener. He says what needs to be said, plays what needs to be played, and leaves space for the rest to land.
