“Comfortable,” their song with Pasadena singer Fana Hues, is the duo's second release of the year. It’s sultry, upbeat, and adorn with mood-setting orange and red lights. Over the twinkling production, Love and Hues push back-and-forth in a classic trope—he’s eager to get into things, but she’s the one setting the pace, asking that they take things a little slower. “I know we don’t live forever / We might as well get together,” Hues sings as the song approaches a mesmerizing climax in the chorus.
