Australian artist JVLY presents “STILL DROWNING IN MY ROOM,” a reimagined version of one of the defining tracks from his upcoming SUNDERLUXE EP, due Oct. 1. The release offers a fresh perspective on the song, revisiting its earlier, more energetic form before it evolved into the slower R&B and soul-driven version featured on SUNDER.
Rather than functioning as a traditional remix, “STILL DROWNING IN MY ROOM” brings the track closer to its original conception, offering a glimpse into the creative process behind JVLY’s upcoming project. The new version also introduces the parallel sonic world of SUNDERLUXE, expanding on ideas that first appeared in the original.

JVLY recalls that the song began with Juno chords and “almost Daft Punk kind of guitars,” eventually evolving into the slower R&B groove heard on SUNDER. He says he never forgot the energy of the original demo, which ultimately found its place within the new project.
“STILL DROWNING IN MY ROOM” opens with sultry guitar, a bouncing nu-disco bassline, tight drums, and smooth male vocals surrounded by lush chords. The production keeps its palette focused, allowing the funky bass movement, crisp percussion, and guitar work to carry the groove while presenting a more upbeat and dance-oriented side of JVLY’s sound.
