On November 24, 2025, VRSTY released one of their most popular singles, “Shameless,” but with a little twist — this version is acoustic. Listening to this version feels like a curtain is being pulled to the side and revealing an artist who is truly diverse in creating music that’s emotional and immersive. The composition of this version is more intimate and intense, in my opinion, because you can sense the authenticity in Joey’s vocals, and the instrumentation creates a more cinematic soundscape. This new era of VRSTY showcases that it’s okay to veer away from your typical sound and revisit older songs to create newer versions. This version gives more depth, and I feel like listeners will be able to resonate more with this release.

VRSTY will be releasing the four-song Cloud City (Archives) EP on December 12, and you can pre-order it here!

“I’ve always loved the kinda ‘heavy softness that ‘Shameless’ had and always thought it would be cool to explore that more. I think I went into it with that mentality at first but then also just wanted to do this as a thank you for everyone who has supported ‘Shameless’ and Cloud City for so many years. After all, that song was the very FIRST time anyone ever listened to us and gave us a chance.” – Joey Tyler
