A narrative of lovers caught in a magnetic pull, tethered by emotions yet divided by circumstances, all swaying to an R&B melody laced with hints of soulful melancholy. With "Withdrawal," Avara and Four articulate the throes of desire, the ache of yearning and the fog of doubt that clouds passionate connections.

Avara describes it as a "deep-dive into the grey areas of affection, where clarity becomes a luxury and emotions, a whirlpool."

Four, chiming in with his perspective, talks of the cyclical dance of loneliness and longing, and the veiled layers of dependency that relationships often cloak themselves in. Avara's not just an artist; she's a storyteller with a melody. As an Indian-American, her songs become canvases where she paints strokes of her cultural heritage, all the while spreading the message of embracing and cherishing one's unique identity.

Four's rise to recognition is attributed to his vocal magic, especially the spellbinding quality of his falsetto. His songs, which have garnered attention on platforms like YouTube, channel raw emotions, echoing the sentiments of artists like Miguel and Frank Ocean. And as whispers in the industry suggest, his upcoming EP promises to be another musical gem.

So, if you wish to lose yourself in a lyrical labyrinth of passion and ponder, let Avara and Four's "Withdrawal" be your guide. Enjoy!
