As they’re working on their second album, the LA-based rockers Centershift dropped their single The Ride on the 21st of June 2023 via label/distro partner Auspicious Recordings/Wolf Entertainment. Produced by Jose Alcantar (Linkin Park, Blue October, Imagine Dragons, All American Rejects, and others), The Ride is a tune about last words that we never get to say to past ones in a way that says a lot about Centershift‘s sound and energy, let me tell you more about it.
Centershift kickstarted The Ride with a hooking melody in a classic alternative sound, before slowing things down with an atmospheric verse with deep groovy bass. It smoothly escalates, gaining momentum till reaching the catchy emotional chorus, as The Ride has a big progressing sound with a deeply emotional layer and hypnotizing ambient vibes that keep the listener hooked. It has a flowing structure that smoothly takes the listeners through its twists and turns, getting harder as it goes and keeping the energetic boost going without compromising its soft heart-hitting core. The vocal melody’s powerful progression is very interesting, it shifts and takes forms that even magnify the music’s energy and feel, giving it an extra edge and easily translating it.
The Ride is another solid piece with a multi-layered sound and strong delivery by Centershift. It perfectly shows their detailed writing and catchy flow, reflecting seasoned writing skills and deep influences. Looking forward to more from Centershift, keep on rocking. Cheers!
