RIDE by BOY SODA
Representing that difficult-to-capture intersection between trepidation and wonder throughout his discography is the sensation that is BOY SODA. The sonically tenacious Sydney-based artist has dropped his landmark debut EP ‘THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THINKING AND FEELING’ where everything, from the already timeless cover art to the visuals, is creatively precise and intricate. Unencumbered by self-limitations or guidelines on the sound he’s fostering, BOY SODA elects to embark on a journey deep into the whirlwind tapestry that is his internal monologue.
RIDE
‘RIDE’ pertinently follows on from ‘TWENTYOH5’ by exploring the multitude of meanings with the word itself. With this track, BOY SODA is expressing his gratitude for that special someone in his life who made the challenging ride to this point all the more worth it. The upbeat track draws from traditional and contemporary R&B influences and gives BOY SODA the chance to craft a love ballad that is dedicated wholly to the person who makes the ride of his everyday magical, “They say what’s your best side and I point at you, understand that you’re my rock I’m better off with you”. ‘RIDE’ features vibrant production from ANH & yugiboi, HAMLEY and Huge Lake, with the mix of trickling and bassy drums playing perfectly into the track’s message, all of which is capped off by BOY SODA’s captivating enhanced vocals.
