Duanna Delivers Her Most Confident Work Yet With open tabs

Duanna’s open tabs feels like a shift in atmosphere rather than a collection of songs. The EP moves with a calm confidence, the kind that comes from an artist who understands the emotional weight of subtle choices. Instead of leaning on big drops or dramatic peaks, she works in textures and small movements that slowly pull you in.

The sound palette is soft but intentional. Synths shimmer at the edges, percussion stays low to the ground, and her voice drifts through each track with a steady kind of clarity. The restraint is part of the appeal. You can hear the trust she places in quiet details and in the power of repetition to shape a mood.

“Species” feels like the point where everything clicks. It builds without ever announcing it, creating a pocket of stillness that feels surprisingly full. “Better Off” shifts the tone by putting emotional growth front and center, but it never loses the gentle touch that defines the EP. The production opens up around her vocals and gives the song room to breathe.

What makes open tabs resonate is the sense of space. Duanna leaves you with enough room to interpret the feelings she sketches out, but she also guides you just enough to keep the experience grounded. It is a project that rewards close listening without demanding it, a rare balance in electronic music.
