HWIN’s ‘Love Is All I Need’ Launches 57 Records

HWIN, the visionary artist known for his work as Cathedrals and as the founder of NYC’s creative hub 57, officially announces his debut solo EP. ‘Just Like a Flower’ with the release of its first single, ‘Love Is All I Need’ is available 31st January. This single also marks the launch of 57 Records, a community-driven label that bridges underground electronic culture with accessible, emotive songwriting.  


‘Love Is All I Need’ captures the essence of HWIN’s unique vision, blending lush, yearning vocals with the infectious energy rooted in UK garage-inspired breakbeats and the melodic storytelling of cinematic indie songwriting. A propulsive and emotionally resonant track, it serves as both a personal anthem and a communal invitation. Setting the tone for ‘Just Like a Flower’, an EP that navigates the duality of intimacy and grandeur it invites listeners to find themselves equally at home on solitary walks or packed dance floors.

This release heralds the next chapter for HWIN, who previously garnered critical acclaim as producer and songwriter for Cathedrals, amassing over 60 million streams and features in The New York Times, Billboard, and VICE. Now stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist in this new leap, HWIN channels his deep roots in rock, folk, techno, and electronica into a cohesive, singular voice that feels as timeless as it is forward-looking.  

The debut of 57 Records is a natural evolution of HWIN’s work in building thriving creative ecosystems. Emerging from 57, the NYC-based cultural hub HWIN founded, the label embodies the collaboration and community that has defined 57’s success. With over 7,200 members, 57 has grown as a vital space for creativity and cultural exchange, hosting events like the monthly Circadian Rhythms series and the FAM Artist Salons featuring conversations with luminaries such as Stephan Jenkins (Third Eye Blind) and Barry Can’t Swim.  

The launch of 57 Records underscores the HWIN’s surrounding community mission to amplify authentic voices while bridging underground and mainstream sensibilities. ‘Love Is All I Need’ serves as the inaugural release, with its seamless blend of emotive songwriting and danceable energy, the track not only sets the stage for HWIN’s solo artistry but also establishes 57 as a pioneering force in music and culture.
