Listen to “Secret Boyfriend” by Tsatsamis
Since tuning into the dreamy sonic pop world of Tsatsamis in 2023, I’ve noticed wintertime often signals a creative surge from the singer-songwriter-producer. And true to form, 2025 is shaping up to be far from quiet. In fact, the latest track, “Secret Boyfriend,” has been a long time coming, and very much worth the wait. Although the idea for the song lived on his to-do list for some time. Tsatsamis kept returning to it, reshaping lyrics and refining production. Refusing to release it until every emotional and sonic detail aligned perfectly. The result is a track so personal and thematically weighty that rushing it simply wasn’t an option.
Rather than let 2025 drift by without a release, Tsatsamis seized the energy surrounding his Mighty Hoopla performance, dropping the trance-embellished anthem “Sweet Praise.” Now, following that momentum, “Secret Boyfriend” steps forward as a second standalone release. One that thoughtfully sets the stage for Tsatsamis Era Three.
What makes “Secret Boyfriend” especially compelling is its poignant, soul-searching narrative. The song explores the emotional distance that can form between you and parts of your family when you’re not out to them. It captures the bittersweet truth that growing into your sexuality can sometimes mean growing apart from people who struggle to see you as you truly are. And with the holidays on the horizon (a season often steeped in family expectations), the track lands with even greater resonance.
Recognising the importance of this moment, Tsatsamis brought in top-tier collaborators to shape the final product. Clarence Clarity (Rina Sawayama, Dorian Electra) delivers masterful finishing flourishes. Whereas production whizz Kevin Tuffy (New Order, Rag’n’Bone Man) helps elevate the overall sound to its most polished form.
Ultimately, “Secret Boyfriend” isn’t just another release. It’s a deeply considered, emotionally rich milestone in Tsatsamis’ evolving storytelling. And if this is what’s leading into the next era, 2026 is already looking incredibly promising.
