With releases like “Sweat” and “Life’s Worth Living,” Columbus-based singer-songwriter Nick Folwarczny has invited fans into his cinematic, coming-of-age world. The compelling narratives he crafts through his songwriting speak to those who may find themselves in the midst of new love or on the brink of self-acceptance. He then sets these narratives to original, anthemic music, complete with enticing melodies and dynamic vocals. Nick is prepping to release his debut EP, where he will surely elaborate on these skills and present more stories for fans to explore. He kicks off this new chapter of his career with the EP’s first single, “Convenience Fees.”
On “Convenience Fees,” Nick reflects on a toxic relationship. The resonant indie-folk textures throughout the single make it sound cold and heavy, and the acoustic guitar and wistful percussion emphasize the vulnerability of Nick’s voice. Cathartically, he sings, “And you tell me sorry, baby please / You want what’s best for you, not me / Convenience fees were all I had to lose.” You can listen below.
About “Convenience Fees,” Nick explains,
“I wrote and produced ‘Convenience Fees’ shortly after leaving a relationship that I had rushed into. It was incredibly difficult to admit that I wasn’t happy, but once it was over, I was able to understand how unhealthy the relationship was and everything I had overlooked. Drawing inspiration from Gigi Perez, I knew I wanted to change my production style in a way that would better capture the anger and disgust I felt. Serving as the opening track on my 2026 EP, ‘Who Was I,’ I aim to engulf my audience in my emotions behind losing and finding myself both inside and outside of a relationship.”
“Convenience Fees” is out now via Cloverdale Records. You can listen to it on platforms like Spotify, SoundCloud, and Apple Music.
On February 28, Nick will make his Florida debut at the inaugural Wahoo Music Festival. Tickets and more information can be found here.
