Tony Lio steps into a more vulnerable space with Better to Sleep, a minimalist single drawn from his EP Mirage Masquerade. Stripped of excess, the track leans on melody and quiet emotion, exploring the comfort of daydreams and temporary escape. The New Jersey songwriter, known for blending indie and alternative rock, shows restraint here, letting intimacy lead.

Reuniting with longtime collaborator Christopher Kapshock adds subtle depth, while Mackie June’s harmonies float gently around Tony’s voice. The result feels reflective and honest, highlighting an artist willing to evolve while staying true to heartfelt songwriting. It suggests growth, maturity, and renewed creative confidence moving forward boldly.
