(San Francisco — August 14, 2025) — With his third single Can’t You See, San Francisco-based artist Fedge explores a rarely-heard theme in pop music: the exhaustion of constant conflict with the people we love most, and the hope for reconnection before it’s too late.

Set against anthemic pop-rock production and aching vocal harmonies, Can’t You See is a plea for closeness in relationships where love feels conditional, communication turns to arguments, and the push and pull makes it harder to stay connected.

“Growing up, I felt like I was always trying to keep the peace, holding back my feelings so we wouldn’t drift further apart,” says Fedge. “And when you’re the child of immigrants, that distance can feel especially heavy, like balancing two cultures, two generations, two ways of thinking under one roof. You learn to build tough skin. But underneath, you’re still just a kid who wants the sweet without the bitter.”

The chorus delivers the song’s central ache: “Why is everything a fight? Can’t you see we’re on borrowed time… All I need is love, can’t you see?” It’s not a breakup lyric, but a plea to be met with tenderness instead of tension.

Following the disco-fueled confrontation of Invisible to You and the bittersweet regret of Too Early, Too Late, Can’t You See continues Fedge’s narrative of vulnerability and healing — a thread that will run through his upcoming debut EP Through It All, due this fall.

“Every generation has the chance to break a cycle,” Fedge says. “We can’t rewrite the past, but we can choose to show up differently moving forward. This song is my way of turning pain into something that might help someone else feel less alone.”

Can’t You See is out August 22 on all major streaming platforms.

Release Party at Lobby Bar in the Castro

To celebrate the release, Fedge is bringing Can’t You See to life with an intimate listening party and mini live set at Lobby Bar in the Castro on August 22. Known for its high-end cocktails and for honoring San Francisco’s trans and lesbian history, Lobby Bar sets the perfect backdrop for a night of music, community, and connection.

The evening kicks off at 8 PM, with Fedge taking the stage at 8:15 for a three-song set, including the live debut of Can’t You See. Guests can expect a curated playlist, a signature themed cocktail, and an atmosphere that blends Lobby Bar’s elevated vibe with Fedge’s heartfelt pop storytelling. Fans and community members are invited to gather, celebrate, and be among the first to experience the new single live.
