Pol Sembrano’s single “Anywhere” is a celebration of both wanderlust and personal growth, offering listeners a sonic escape fueled by the artist’s own adventurous spirit, and the track is both a call to explore the world and a meditation on life’s fleeting moments. With a sound that draws from synth-pop and new wave influences of the ‘80s, Sembrano crafts an infectious dancefloor anthem. Fans of Depeche Mode, New Order, as well as newer acts like CHVRCHES will find themselves immediately at home in Sembrano’s style, which looks as much to the past as it does toward reinventing this genre for modern times.
Sembrano got his start as a classically trained pianist, and therefore it’s no surprise that there’s a dramatic, almost operatic quality to the track that’s reminiscent of the best of the Pet Shop Boys. Produced by Casey Lewis of Echo Base Studios as well as the drummer for Canadian punk band Belvedere, the song shows a remarkable and perfectionist-like attention to detail that makes it sound like a recently discovered lost masterpiece from the height of the synthpop era. “Anywhere” is the lead single from Sembrano’s self-titled album, set to be released in 2026, and if it’s anything to go by, this small glimpse promises that the release will be the artist’s finest statement yet.
