92elm - Needs (Official Video)

With “Needs,” 92elm continues to peel back the emotional layers ahead of the upcoming EP Attachments. Where debut single “Ways“ offered a soulful and inward looking reflection on the blind spots that quietly grow inside relationships, “Needs” pushes that conversation forward with a brighter sound and a growing sense of urgency.

Sonically, the track feels more energised, but its emotional core turns sharply inward. “Needs” confronts the uncomfortable spaces of emotional withdrawal and vulnerability, capturing the tension between self protection and the necessity of growth. There is a raw honesty in the way it explores how unmet needs can harden into distance and how painful yet essential it is to sit with that realisation.

That emotional weight is cleverly offset by the accompanying music video, which reframes the song’s intensity through a comical and satirical lens. The contrast works beautifully, allowing the deeper themes to land without becoming heavy handed and highlighting 92elm’s growing confidence not just as a songwriter, but as a storyteller. As a second glimpse into Attachments, “Needs” signals an EP that is unafraid to examine the messier corners of connection and invites us to do the same.
