scribbles is the title of the new single by Westcrossavailable on radio and on all digital platforms from July 17, 2026 For Island Records/Universal Music Italia. The song marks a new step in the singer's artistic journey, characterized by the meeting for the first time with Frah Quintal.
The song moves between soul and rap, built around a night in which every choice seems possible: leave or stay, walk away or try to stay close to someone. More than telling a love story, scribbles reflects on the relationship with oneself and the difficulty of finding a balance before even seeking it in others.
Westcross And Frah Quintal: A night out at a party becomes a song
The starting point of the song is as simple as it is evocative: two people who find themselves outside a party, in that suspended moment in which everything can change. It is there that a dialogue made of doubts, emotions and contradictions takes shape.
scribbles addresses the theme of love starting from an internal perspective. Before learning to love others, the song suggests, it is necessary to confront one's own fragility, with the need to accept oneself and with those questions that often emerge during the quietest hours of the night.
The conflict between the desire to leave and the desire to stay runs through the entire song, transforming the night journey into a metaphor for the choices that accompany personal growth.
Between soul and rap, the meeting between two different writings
Accompanying this nocturnal narration is the production signed by Lester Nowhere And Pierfrancesco Pasiniwhich build a soft and enveloping sound carpet suspended between soul and rap.
On this basis, two different but complementary approaches coexist. On the one hand, the intense and cinematic writing of Westcross; on the other, the recognizable melody of Frah Quintalwhich opens up brighter spaces within a story with nocturnal atmospheres.
The result is a featuring that focuses on the alchemy between the two artists rather than on the surprise effect, allowing a musical dialogue to emerge that appears spontaneous from the first listen.
“doodles”: towards the new Westcross project
Born in Padua to a Palestinian mother and an Iranian father, Westcross he grew up in a multicultural environment which profoundly influenced his writing. Storytelling represents one of the central elements of his music, along with writing rich in visual images and personal reflections.
In his artistic career, particular attention is also paid to the visual aspect, which he takes care of directly together with his videomaker. The sound direction of the new project is instead developed together with the producer Lester Nowherewith whom he has built an increasingly solid artistic understanding in recent years.
With scribbles, Westcross adds a new piece to his journey, choosing to support one of the most recognizable voices of the Italian urban scene in a song that focuses on introspection, writing and sound research.
