Verzache Returns With “Change”: Toronto’s Bedroom Pop Titan Evolves Yet Again

If you’ve been following Verzache for a while, you already know he’s not your typical pop artist. He’s Zach Farache, Toronto-born, sharp-witted, occasionally self-deprecating, and endlessly creative. He once thought about pursuing stand-up comedy, but after “bombing so fucking hard” at an open-mic, he leaned into music instead. 

Over the years, Verzache has quietly built a global cult following by doing the simplest, and hardest thing in music: being himself. His sound doesn’t chase trends; it fills gaps you didn’t even know were there. From early breakout tracks like “French” with sophie meiers, to the massive “The Loser” (closing in on 200 million streams), and “Needs” (which went Gold), Verzache has become a go-to name for angst-driven, bedroom-born anthems that hit both the head and the heart. Publications like FLAUNT, PAPER, and NME have all stamped him as a pioneer, and the billion-plus streams back it up.

But after a whirlwind stretch that included My Head Is a Moshpit and a flurry of singles in 2023, Verzache did something rare in the digital age: he stopped. Breakups, therapy, late nights with friends, and time spent geeking out over gear and piano lessons gave him space to breathe. And out of that came “Change”, his first new release in two years.

The single feels like a reset. It’s stripped yet layered, mellow yet biting, full of the contradictions that make Verzache’s music feel alive. “‘Change’ is basically about the process of me trying to make differences in my life and get away from habits that are destructive or unhelpful,” he explains. It’s a theme we all know too well, trying to do better, falling back, trying again. Whether it’s love, friendship, or self-sabotage, Verzache captures the frustration and quiet hope in a way only he can.

Listening to “Change” is like sitting in a theater watching your own life play out on screen. His voice, unmistakably unique, guides you through regret, reflection, and the wish that things could’ve worked out differently. Much like he says, love isn’t made of clay; once it cracks, it doesn’t always mold back the same. That kind of storytelling, equal parts vulnerable and cinematic, is what’s always set Verzache apart.

What’s next? More music, more honesty, and probably more surprises. As he puts it: “If you feel any emotion at all from my music, I’ve done my job.” Judging by “Change”, he’s not just doing his job, he’s reminding us why we connected with him in the first place.
