Roy Woods is wearing his heart on his sleeve in Dark Nights, his latest EP released via OVO Sound. The moody, introspective collection peels back the layers of the Canadian singer’s emotional experiences, marking a sharp turn from the carefree energy of his 2024 project, Rolling Stone.

“This is the first time I’m letting it all out — not just for me, but for anyone who’s ever felt betrayed or broken,” Woods shared about the project. Tracks like the vulnerable “What I Used To Get Into” and the raw “Disrespectful” reveal personal lows and growth, while the somber closer, “Tell Me What I’m Living For,” reflects the weight of unreciprocated love.

While Rolling Stone celebrated escapism, Dark Nights offers the backstory — the heartbreaks and realizations that led Woods there. His soulful delivery and emotionally charged lyrics create a cinematic listening experience, one that bridges vulnerability and strength with atmospheric production.

Woods has hinted that a full-length album will follow, one that fully connects these pieces. For now, Dark Nights stands as a bold, confessional chapter in his evolving story.
