Wes Denzel - Sorry About Last Night (EP)
Wes Denzel returns with “Sorry About Last Night”, a profoundly immersive EP serving as a spiritual successor and emotional arc to his 2023 release, “Last Night in Houston”. If “Last Night in Houston” was the ride home drenched in introspection, “Sorry About Last Night” is the message you type the morning after—still unsure if you’ll press send. From the moment the first note plays, it’s clear Denzel isn’t just retracing steps—he’s evolving. The moods are familiar but refined, offering a matured vulnerability that doesn’t quite flinch like it did before. He’s still processing, still guarded, but he’s learning to swim in those same deep waters instead of drowning in them.
“Dream About Me” is a masterclass in emotional layering. It stands tall as the EP’s centerpiece and fan-favorite for good reason. The production sways with melodic melancholy while Wes balances between confession and defense. It’s a plea, a wish, and a self-reflection all wrapped into one, showing just how much he’s capable of saying without fully letting his guard down. Elsewhere, “Juice” offers a silky contrast—laid-back, dripping confidence, and riding a groove that makes it impossible to skip. The “I’m still him” moment reminds listeners this isn’t all heartbreak and hesitation—there’s resilience in the rhythm and a low-key swagger in Wes delivery that signals growth. Then there’s “Hollywood Waste,” a haunting highlight confronting disillusionment and emotional fatigue with laser precision. It feels like Wes is pulling the curtain back on the performative parts of love, fame, and loyalty—things that look good on the surface but leave scars behind the scenes.
What makes “Sorry About Last Night” so potent is its unflinching ability to toe the line between strength and softness. Wes Denzel isn’t begging for sympathy, nor is he afraid to admit that he still feels the aftermath of love’s weight. The production across the EP is tight and cohesive—breezy when it needs to be, heavy when it should be. Each track plays like a timestamped emotion, bleeding into the next purposefully. This EP doesn’t just continue a story—it refines it. Wes Denzel leans further into his emotional register, setting the tone for a new level of artistry that doesn’t have to shout to be heard. “Sorry About Last Night” is moody, melodic, and honest in ways that feel lived-in. It’s a soundtrack for every voicemail unsent, every apology half-written, and every night you swore would be the last time.
