Toronto artist Jesse Gold is today releasing his new song "Happy Lonely Boy."

It's a simmering offering from the rising R&B music-maker, who has quickly proven a knack for irresistible melodies paired with confessional lyrics. 

"One of my favourite things to do is nothing. Being by myself, with no plans is so comfortable,” says Gold. "'Happy Lonely Boy' is about enjoying that comfort, guilt-free. No standing in line for bars, spending money, shooting your shot to get rejected. Just a party for one.”
