Marlon Funaki has been on our radar for months now, and his second single of 2024 “Home” is a delightful excursion from what he usually puts out. Most of his tracks can feel as if they’re leaving us with a sense of longing (namely in production), but this one feels slightly different.

The sense of love and eternal belonging that Marlon aims to pay homage to is pungent, both in lyrics and production, and listening to the track from top to bottom feels more multidimensional than anything he’s ever released. After reading through the lyrics (and skimming his Instagram post about the track), it’s clear that “Home” is about appreciating that no matter how hard and turbulent life may be, that some things – like family, your partner, or your house itself – will always be there for you. Home will always be there to let you be you.

After announcing his first ever show dates outside of California, Marlon followed through on his promise from our last interview and left us with a new track before he sets off. I personally feel as if Marlon hasn’t taken a step wrong in over a year now, and I bet you’ll feel the same after you listen to his most recent track for yourself below.
