5 Reasons You Should Listen To montana chanel's New Single “ride or die”

Some songs make their point quickly. montana chanel’s “ride or die” is one of them, but there is more to this new alternative pop gem than first meets the ear. Here are 5 reasons it deserves a place in your next music listening session.

1. The chorus gets stuck fast

“Are you my ride or die?” is repeated throughout the song, giving it a hook that is hard to miss. It is the kind of chorus that stays with you after the track ends.

2. The lyrics are refreshingly honest

chanel does not hide from the less comfortable parts of the relationship at the heart of the song. She admits to being drawn to “chaos and lows” because they feel familiar, giving the track a candid edge.

3. The music matches the mood

The production moves between darker and brighter moments, reflecting the uncertainty in the lyrics. chanel also uses minor and major chord changes to mirror the back and forth between wanting to stay and questioning whether she should.

4. There is plenty happening vocally

Layered harmonies add depth around the main vocal, particularly in the chorus. They give the track a fuller sound without taking attention away from the lyrics.

5. It leaves the question open

Written after a major argument with her now ex-boyfriend, “ride or die” comes from a place of real uncertainty – staying or leaving. The song does not try to settle that conflict with a neat conclusion, which allows the listener to think about their own experiences and what they would do in that situation.

Put all 5 reasons together and “ride or die”, out now through Now Listen, makes a convincing introduction to chanel’s songwriting. It has the hook, the emotional detail and enough musical movement to inspire repeat plays.
