Master Peace's latest release, "new boyfriend," is arresting, with it's opening line, "I hope you play this at your wedding." It sparks a conversation that's playful, awkward, and emotionally revealing. The song is about a relationship that has gone bad. She has a new boyfriend but has more fun remembering with her ex. Master Peace captures the in-between of moving on and remembering what once felt easy. It has a funny idea in the middle, but an ache beneath it makes "New Boyfriend" feel like an honest conversation. The memories still linger, and the juxtaposition creates a mischievous tension in the song.
