Jeffrey Chan’s latest EP Boys Like Us sizzles into the neon-lit universe of queer love and its zesty night life where the boundaries blur out of the binary. It’s all delivered through a high-gloss, club-ready pop lens. Released just in time for Pride Month, this body of work is Chan’s boldest and most liberated offering to date, waiting to confess, seduce, and reclaim. With slick production and emotionally sharp lyrics, Boys Like Us is a love letter to all the late-night heartbreaks, friendships-turned-lovers, lovers-turned-gossip, and the beautiful, messy spectrum in between.
The opening track, “Looking,” is an instant club banger, driven by sultry synths, a pulsing bassline, and Chan’s smooth, breathy, flirty vocals. It’s unapologetically lustful, and it’s what you hear under strobes, sweaty and magnetic. He’s not looking for love, and he doesn’t pretend to. It’s sex, it’s play, it’s pleasure wrapped in sleek production and a hypnotic hook.
But the EP really hits its emotional stride with “House of Sin,” an anthem about chosen family and the sanctuary queer spaces provide. The synths swell warmer, the vocals are fuller, and the entire track pulses with a sense of belonging. It’s a party that is the home to healing. Fortunately, all that meets hedonism under the same mirrorball.
Then comes “Run That Mouth,” a devilish song that reminds you of the gossip and double-crossing that often haunt intimate circles. With seductive beats, verses, and a chorus that bites back with sass and swagger, it’s deliciously dramatic. The final lines, “Now boys like us talk all the time / I guess we wanna speak our mind,” echo the EP’s title and ethos with clarity.
Boys Like Us is unapologetically queer, emotionally nuanced, and musically addictive. It shows that Jeffrey Chan is owning the voice he has found. Check it out on Spotify.
