“Goners” is a stirring new single from Winston Orz, a Wilmington, NC-based artist who caught our ears last year with the track “Smooth Magic.” “Goners” represents Orz’s first single of 2025, and his fifth overall. A ghostly folk intrigue shows initially, with a whispered vocal entrancement building into a grungy allure as a moving vocal refrain arises. “I am just a goner, she is just a goner,” Orz’s enveloping vocals rise, attaining an atmospheric rock captivation as orchestral elements linger beautifully alongside. Shades of later-era Radiohead show in the emotional, orchestral-tinted rock/folk intertwining.
