Every now and then, an artist creates something quietly, almost under the radar, only to discover its true impact through the people who connect with it. This is the story of Justin Ride and his September release, Hot Box Shuffle.
When Justin released the album, he chose not to promote it heavily, feeling at the time that it might not have the potential to make waves. But life had other plans. One track in particular, Older, has since taken on a life of its own. Listeners have been captivated by its heartfelt honesty and emotional depth, leading to an outpouring of support and praise that has even surprised Justin himself.
Justin is excited to reintroduce it to listeners who may have missed it the first time around.
“The positive reactions have completely taken me by surprise, and it’s been so rewarding to see how deeply people are connecting with the song,” he shared recently. This unexpected wave of love for Older has made Justin reconsider how he approaches his music.
If you haven’t yet explored Hot Box Shuffle, (10 tracks, 29 minutes) now is the perfect time to dive in.
