Ryan Hemsworth Links With Nana Lourdes for Deconstructed Pop Gem “I Missed You More”

Producer Ryan Hemsworth is officially back in his solo bag, dropping the new single “I Missed You More” alongside Portuguese psych-pop artist Nana Lourdes.

The track sets the stage for Numbskull, Hemsworth’s first proper solo full-length in eight years, dropping October 21 via Topshelf Records. Instead of chasing fleeting trends, Hemsworth leans into a distinct, nostalgic early-2010s texture while keeping his production forward-facing.

How “I Missed You More” Came Together

• The Long Road: The track actually started life years ago as an indie-rock idea inspired by bands like The Pains of Being Pure At Heart.

• The Process: Hemsworth went through about eight different versions before cracking the code. He ended up stripping the original idea down, chopping up and sampling his own live guitar recordings.

• The Feature: Nana Lourdes locks in with a smooth, infectious pop topline that cuts straight through the glitchy, fractured beatwork.

What We Know About Numbskull

The rollout for Numbskull has been all about sharp, left-field collaborations. Between “One Step” featuring Sarah Tudzin (Illuminati Hotties) and now this latest drop, Hemsworth is proving his ear for melody and atmosphere is as sharp as ever.

If you’ve been following his career since the cloud-rap and chillwave days, this record is shaping up to be an essential spin.

“I Missed You More” is out everywhere now. Keep it locked for Numbskull on October 21.
