March 14, 2025 (Los Angeles, CA)—This week, breakthrough singer-songwriter and producer sombr achieves a career first, debuting on three Billboard charts with his recent single “back to friends” via Warner Records.

The track—which has accumulated over 25 million listens on Spotify alone and continuing to rapidly accelerate—reaches #23 on Billboard’s Hot Alternative, #24 on Hot Rock and #33 on Hot Rock & Alternative songs charts. “back to friends” has been added to major playlists across platforms, skyrocketing his listeners globally. sombr is hitting the road this spring and summer for dates across North America with Daniel Seavey followed by a run in the U.K and Europe with Nessa Barrett. See a complete list of dates below.

The 19-year-old rising star recently collaborated with 2025 Brit Awards nominee Rachel Chinouriri for a new version of her hit song, “All I Ever Asked.” Listen/share HERE.

A New York-native raised on the Lower East Side, sombr—born Shane Boose—started making music in his bedroom while studying classical music as a student at the prestigious public school, LaGuardia High School. His breakout hit “Caroline” (2022) took the internet by storm, and he has since released a series of EPs and singles, climbing to almost 7 million Spotify monthly listeners and 2 million daily streams. Now based in Los Angeles, sombr continues to explore young romance and heartbreak through his music—all of which is self-written and released via Warner Records.

“Making music helps me navigate the complexities of relationships and love,” he shares. “I feel so grateful when I am able to reach people through my songs. Music heals and connects people, and it is such a privilege to be able to work on this art form every day.”

Further new music from sombr is imminent.
