Officially kicking off his a new era, EVAN debuts his signature solo sound with his first digital single RIDE OR DIE. The two track record gives fans a chance to get to know this fresh persona attatched to a brand new sonic style.
The intensity behind the name of the record RIDE OR DIE, being someones sole pillar of support through thick and thin, bleeds into the title track 'Ride or Die' as it presents a searing alternative rock soundscape with grungy, punk tinged beats. The track captures the fervor of romance through lyrics that say, "You are my ride or die, drive 'til the end of time, come a bit closer now, my love will never die" describing a sense of ardent dedication and loyalty to the love that two people share.
The music video that accompanies the release has a heavy rebellious edge to it. It depicts the symbolic companionship between EVAN and a weathered car that stays with him every step of the way as he drifts through empty parking lots in the rain, turns city streets into impromptu parties, and searches for a way to break free from the illusion of being unseen.
'Overflow' is a complete contrast to 'Ride or Die' with laid back beats and a more melody focused sound with echoy and dreamlike vocals. The track shows off EVAN's versatility as an artist as he presents an indie pop inspired sound.
EVAN shares more about this pivotal moment in his career as he says, "Above all, I feel grateful. I want to continue working hard and think deeply about what kind of music and messages can move people and resonate with fans.” He continued, “I hope listeners can get a glimpse of the kind of artist I want to be. Since this single reflects the many thoughts and emotions I carry within me, I believe the feelings captured in these songs are closest to the kind of music I hope to continue sharing in the future."
With RIDE OR DIE, EVAN takes his first bold step as a solo artist, offering a glimpse into both his evolving musical identity and the stories he hopes to tell through his work. From the rebellious energy of the title track to the introspective charm of Overflow, the release showcases his versatility and sets the stage for an exciting new chapter in his artistic journey.
