Aaron John infuses various genres into pop-centric single, "Thrill of the Ride"
Infusing a wide variety of genres for something completely unique, Aaron John has crushed it on only his second ever single, “Thrill of the Ride”. Keep reading for a closer look into the track, in addition to a background on this emerging artist.
Currently representing the music scene in Canada, Aaron John is a singer, songwriter, and composer who’s stylistically combining an outrageous amount of genres that include pop, rock, hip hop, and some glimmers of jazz. All of those have come to fruition on his newest single “Thrill of the Ride”, a well produced and lively sounding song that has nonstop been stuck in our collective heads. Of course, we’re urging everyone out there to give this a spin as soon as possible.
Leading with his expressive vocals that effortlessly fit the vibe and aura of the song, this is one of those pop-centric songs that perfectly hit the right notes at all moments. Considering it’s only his second single release, in which we loved his debut “Fresh”, there’s something both fresh and nostalgic about Aaron’s music. It hints and feels like it’s taking influence from some of our favorites of the early 2000’s, however he’s brought a modern touch into the mix with a futuristic production, inventive instrumentation, and undoubtedly his vocals that deviate from a mainstream sound. Aaron lived in South Korea for 3 years and fully pulled inspiration from his time there, which may be the main factor in why his music feels different than most other US-based pop.
While this single was just shared recently, thankfully it’s also getting the music video treatment as well. Releasing on November 11th, listeners can turn into viewers with a “cinematic” lyric video to accompany “Thrill of the Ride” and an acoustic version of the song to be shared the following week. There’s so much set to come on the way from this artist, and even more to dig into lyrically as well. His ultimate goal is to continue to spread awareness about mental health issues and raise spirits, which if this song is any indication, he’s definitely on the right track thus far.
With all that being said, now’s about the time we’re going to point you in the right direction of those links below to listen, follow along, and of course to keep up with much more on the way. Enjoy!
