Tom Feral and XOXOSTARGIRL are back together on "Waiting Forever (For You)," an emotional, melodic electronic track about waiting for someone you love to change. Released on October 10, 2026 through Tomonomatopoeia, the song marks a renewed collaboration between two Denver-based artists, and it is dreamy and bittersweet from start to finish.
A Renewed Denver Collaboration
This is not the first time Tom Feral and XOXOSTARGIRL have worked together. "Waiting Forever (For You)" continues a partnership between the Denver-based producer and the Denver-based vocalist, and the chemistry shows. Tom Feral handles the production, while XOXOSTARGIRL delivers expressive vocals that carry the emotional core of the song.
Drums, Synths and Bittersweet Feelings
The track sits in the space between electronica, indietronica and downtempo. It is built around intricate, infectious drum patterns that keep it moving, while lush synths fill out the background with warmth. That combination gives the song an interesting tension: the rhythm is busy and energetic, but the mood is reflective.
The theme is a painful one. "Waiting Forever (For You)" explores what it feels like to wait for someone you love to change, hoping things will get better while knowing they might not. The song balances that heartfelt songwriting with rich, energetic electronic production, so it never becomes too heavy to enjoy.
Part of the Mango Album
"Waiting Forever (For You)" is one of eight tracks on Mango, the melodic album Tom Feral released alongside his more experimental record Rotten. It is one of the most song-focused moments on the album, with the vocal front and center. If you want to hear more of that melodic side, try the title track "Mango" next.
