VOILÀ wraps their spellbinding 2025 with The Last Laugh (Part II), the second act of their fourth album hitting November 21 via their independent setup, and Make Believe drifts in like a half-remembered dream, those teaser lines questioning if the heat was ever just smoke.
Luke Eisner and Gus Ross, the LA duo behind VOILÀ, have this knack for turning quiet heartaches into something you can almost touch. Make Believe feels like a natural thread from their Glass Half Empty days, where they unpacked post-breakup fog with indie-pop edges. Here, it’s all about that sensory pull of love—sight, sound, taste, the slide of skin—clashing against the doubt of what was real.
The snippet they dropped last week hints at a hazy build: soft keys giving way to layered vocals that swell like a confession you whisper to yourself at 3 a.m. No full production reveal yet, but expect their self-produced polish, blending rock hooks with electronic whispers that make the ache feel electric. It’s them saying goodbye to illusions without fully letting go, co-written in those late-night sessions that fuel their rawest stuff.
This isn’t a standalone; Make Believe anchors the eight fresh tracks in Part II, picking up the magical mischief of Part I’s circus of regrets. The full album’s a double-feature odyssey—think Unhappy Hour’s barroom confessions flowing into Vogue’s sharp strut, all orbiting that theme of laughing through the hurt like a magician’s final bow. Collaborators stay light, with Weathers popping up early and Marlhy adding fire midway, keeping the focus on the duo’s chemistry. The whole thing clocks around 40 minutes per half, but together it’s a complete escape.
The guys are in a sweet groove right now, fresh off curating sold-out shows that turned warehouses into wonderlands and racking up half a billion streams on zero major backing. From USC classmates with long hair and big dreams to Emmy-nominated creators balancing music with Luke’s acting gigs, VOILÀ’s carved this independent path that’s all heart and hustle. Part II feels like their most unguarded yet, trading some sparkle for the kind of truth that sticks after the lights dim.
X went soft after the teaser hit, folks clipping those “I know you know it” lines over rainy window reels, already calling it the closer that sneaks up on you. If Part I was the setup, this half delivers the twist.
