Dancing Through the In-Between: sdoku's Dreamy Debut Infinite Moments

Only 16 years old, sdoku is already doing what many artists spend years trying to figure out; turning raw feeling into music that sticks. His debut album, infinite moments, released on March 21st, 2025, is all about the fleeting moments that shape us: the first love, heartbreak, the heaviness, the lightness, and everything in between. These moments may pass, but how they made us feel lingers long after. And sdoku captures exactly that with a quietly powerful debut full of delicate sounds and deeply felt emotions.
Built on emotional duality and lyrical honesty, the album doesn’t rush — instead, it invites you to slow down and sit with your feelings. It’s about the in-between: the quiet heartbreaks, the late-night realizations, the things we carry without knowing why. Through dreamy melodies, genre-blending production, and words that land with disarming clarity, sdoku proves that age has nothing to do with depth.
Inspired by artists like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, JVKE, and The 1975, he crafts an album that makes you dance on impulse and then catches you mid-step when the lyrics hit. It’s dreamy, pop-enthused, but emotionally grounded.

The album begins with what we stay alive for, an instrumental that sets the tone. Birds hum softly over an idyllic melody that feels comforting and dreamlike, slowly pulling you in. A subtle bass creeps in like a heartbeat, taking over the atmosphere, and just as the birds fade, the first real track begins.

Left in you picks up right where the instrumental leaves off, turning introspection into a pop-driven opener. It’s infectious beat hooks you instantly, while the chorus leaves a lasting ache:

Every time looking in my eyes
, I see that love, I see that love that never dies…

It’s the kind of emotional balance sdoku does best, dancing melodies wrapped around vulnerable lyrics.

Stronger, featuring Yerom, leans further into pop with a heart-on-sleeve narrative. There’s youthful nervousness, a racing heartbeat, and the desire to be seen, before blossoming into a chorus about love’s growing strength:

And every time that I hold her, And she cries on my shoulder, Hand in hand we’ll grow older
And our love will get stronger

Then comes like that which is a funk-infused, playful track. It’s rhythmic and euphoric on the surface, but the lyrics reveal a deeper confession:

Cause I’m falling for you, 
 I’m dying, I’m praying so that you will feel like that. There’s something I had never realized. Now tell me why you make me feel like that.

The next track, it’s showtime, slows things down again. It feels like the start of something significant, grounded in presence and affection. The indie pop softness paints love as a dream you never want to wake from:

(Every touch every kiss)
 It’s like a dream 
(And I’m lost in your arms)
 And I just wanna scream
’Cause now everything feels so pеrfect
 And I don’t want it to end

That moment of bliss doesn’t last long. i’ll fly away enters with synthpop energy but carries a heavy emotional weight. It’s fast-paced and bright but lyrically suffocating, a juxtaposition that hits hard:

I watch you laugh
 with someone else tonight.
He’s got your heart, 
while I just fade to gray…

Which later fades into,

I feel it turn away, slipping time. If only you were mine. With you, it feels all right. Please, shine my way. If you could just come closer.
Just stay with me tonight. Just right here beside, 
 I’ll fly away.

Then comes the fisherman, a turning point on the album. Guitars strum gently like the opening of a small concert, and sdoku’s voice takes center stage in a more acoustic, almost spiritual ballad:

You said, ‘Come, follow Me and leave it all behind. 
I’ll make you a fisher of men’. And through the storms and through the trials, 
I stand where You began. You love me and I don’t know why,
 I’m just a fisherman 
If I’m just a fisherman
If I’m just a fisherman

It’s an intimate, reflective track rooted in storytelling, revealing sdoku’s range beyond the bounds of pop.

I wanna live it with you brings us back to love with a catchy modern pop tune. It’s about being in the moment, not worrying about the future, just living fully in love, flaws and all:

Just don’t care about the future
, and what is gonna be
. For me, the only thing is 
that I wanna live it with you.

The closing track, we only know, wraps the album in indie rock electricity. There’s tension, intimacy, and a hint of melancholy. Like the rest of the album, it’s about moments that never fully leave you, no matter how brief they were:

We’re two lost satellites in a crowded sky
.Tangled in orbit, we don’t know why
. And it’s the electric afterglow
. The taste of you, I’ll never outgrow. 
Burning slow, 
we only know

Infinite moments doesn’t rush or overwhelm; it invites you to slow down and notice the emotions you’ve maybe tried to ignore. Sdoku's dreamy production and candid lyrics create space for anyone who feels too much and wants to dance through it anyway.
He blends indie pop, synthpop, funk, and indie rock with emotional authenticity. This debut captures more than youth; it captures the timelessness of feeling. Sdoku exists in the in-between: between pop and storytelling, between lightness and weight. He’s honest, he’s heartfelt, and he knows exactly how to make you move.

If you’re the kind of person who dances to sad songs, thinks too much at night, or finds meaning in the smallest moments, sdoku might be your new favorite artist.
