Cubs is a songwriter and producer from Los Angeles with an instinct for slick downtempo beats that are touched with hints of indie pop. She started playing piano at 4 years old, and then eventually went to NYU for music.

"Out of Minutes" was inspired by a line from an episode of Grey's Anatomy - about needing to take time to yourself to process something, but also trying to let your partner know that you still need them and want their support. Cubs has a voice that is warm and inviting, as she explores the rich emotional space between self-determination and codependence. A prominent bass line couples with elements of synth-pop to drive a melodic hook straight through this heartfelt confessional. Now based in Los Angeles, Cubs has a goal, with each new song, to continuously improve her song-craft and production skills - "Out of Minutes" is the result of a fresh sense of determination, to expose her own feelings in a way that can resonate with an entire generation. This groovy track reconstructs the inner conversation between shame and pride, wrapped in an inviting and subtle electronic groove.

This song is featured on our Groovy Summer playlist.
