The Favors (FINNEAS & Ashe) Releases New Song “The Hudson”
American singer-songwriters FINNEAS and Ashe's new band The Favors released a new song “The Hudson” on July 11, 2025.
The song is the follow-up to “The Little Mess You Made”, which was released last month.
Both songs will appear on their upcoming debut album “The Dream”, which is set to be released on September 19, 2025.
It was written by Ashlyn Willson and Finneas O'Connell. Produced by FINNEAS.
The accompanying music video was directed by Alex Lockett and filmed in New York.
FINNEAS said of the song, “Part of the band identity involves these characters who are singing about an experience to each other. It's a musical theater design, and it rarely happens in pop. You can picture two individuals in an apartment overlooking The Hudson singing about the same thing.”- He continued speaking of the video, “We asked Alex Lockett, who I am a huge fan of, to direct this video. He captures NYC in a way that I love so much; he wrote up this beautiful concept and Ashe and I got to star in it. Since we live in a world where people read into everything so eagerly, it's important to me to emphasize the difference between our real life friendship and our onscreen performance in this video. Life does not always imitate art.What is real, is our love and respect for each other as friends and collaborators- hope we did you justice, Alex!!”

The debut album comprises 12 tracks and was recorded between Nashville and Los Angeles. Produced by FINNEAS.
Ashe said of the album, “This is the way every artist dreams of making an album. People don't sing together anymore when they're recording, but it was so romantic and fun. I want you to feel simultaneously warm, fuzzy, and heartbroken at the same time.”
FINNEAS added, “It's a true 'long-play album' in its real intended meaning. Hopefully, you can have friends over, cook a meal, and play this on vinyl front-to-back.” - source : Apple Music
