Vallejoโs Aโshon Galaxy sits in that emotionally grey area, where feelings speak louder than actions in his latest single, โMore Than Only Friends.โ You can find jazz, soul, and smooth R&B capturing the ache of wanting something deeper with someone who insists on calling it โjust friendship.โ As the lead single from his upcoming project Forever Was All I Hoped, it sets the tone with patience, vulnerability, and grown-up emotion.
The song eases in on a melodic piano line, glinting softly as relaxed beats settle into a steady groove. A deep bass hums underneath, grounding the track, while a moody guitar slides in and out like a quiet thought you canโt shake. Aโshonโs voice comes in smooth and high, soulful without straining, carrying both tenderness and restraint. He sings like someone whoโs been holding their tongue for too long but still chooses grace over pressure.
As the track unfolds, airy backing vocals drift around him, adding an almost ethereal glow that makes the longing feel bigger than just one relationship. In some lines, he sings, โyour smile takes me to heavenโ and โI still taste your kiss when I close my eyes.โ The chorus lands gently but firmly, repeating the truth he canโt ignore: theyโre more than only friends, no matter how often itโs denied.
What really sells the song is its refusal to rush. The beat never hurries, the piano keeps breathing, and Aโshon leans into repetition like heโs trying to convince himself as much as the person heโs singing to. By the final refrain, โMore Than Only Friendsโ is the piece thatโs already been answered in his heart, even if not out loud.
