‘Loud Sex’ sees RYL0 in full popstar form, charismatically singing over luxurious instrumentation. But for as large as the song sounds, RYL0 keeps it organic with her personable charm and ability to translate her singular interior world into relatable, catchy, and strikingly transportive songwriting.

She says of the track: “’Loud Sex’ is so much more than a song about simply having loud sex, and I wanted to make sure the final product felt as important as it did when I was first writing it.

“Last summer, I was going through an intense writer’s block between projects. I was traveling a lot, forgetting to make time for myself, and getting frustrated by my lack of inspiration. After a whole summer of wishing that something would just click, the lyrics came to me in one sitting while staying in a lake house north of Montreal. I woke up to catch the sunrise over the lake on my last day there, and in that peace & quiet I came up with the demo for ‘Loud Sex.’

“Yes, it’s a pop song with a simple concept and risqué lyrics, but it’s also meant to be a celebratory anthem of pure euphoria and transcendental intimacy. I’m sure that not everyone who hears it will understand the way that I do, but the ones that get it will definitely get it.”

Reminiscent of The 1975 and Carly Rae Jepsen, the track kicks off with a distant, reverberated vocal that leads into RYL0’s first verse, which sees her singing over a vibrant, upbeat instrumental replete with punchy percussion, groovy basslines, lush guitars and bubbly synth chord progressions. “In the night on the prowl/add to my body count/sabotaging,” she sings, immediately entering the track with her trademark humor and acute storytelling ability.

The song then transitions into its angelic pre-chorus, a section of pristine, 80s-inspired vocals and instrumentation before breaking into its momentous, unforgettable chorus that sees RYL0 expanding her vocal limits over a cathartic, immaculately layered backing track. Later, after an emotionally impassioned bridge, the track bursts into its final chorus filled with epic, sweeping electric guitar riffs leading into its sumptuous final moments.

RYL0 had this to say on the new offering: “Even though it’s not about anyone in particular, this song still feels deeply personal and relatable in a lot of ways. For me, the really personal element is the fact I’ve never made anything like this prior and, honestly, never thought I would be able to.

“I take a lot of pride in being able to track my evolution with each release and with ‘People Who Don’t Love Me,’ it feels like a reintroduction of my entire artist project. It’s been incredibly fulfilling to feel like I’ve organically grown into this sound that most people probably never expected from me. It’s especially exciting to completely switch it up with such a classically pop style.”

The track kicks off with angelic harp arpeggios before RYL0 comes in with an eerily intimate vocal delivery. “I finally got my distance/been a long time, been a minute/was minding my own business/when you pulled me, put me right back in it,” she sings, evoking a dreadful memory of being drawn back into a toxic situation.

The track then drops into its trunk-rattling chorus – a cacophonous section filled to the brim with deep bass, thumping kick drums, haunting backing vocal melodies, and industrial percussion and sound design. “Shoulda kept it in your head/cuz what you said is spreading through my chest,” RYL0 repeats, a poignant, appropriately piercing message.

Short yet deeply effective, ‘Thru My Chest’ spotlights RYL0’s new songwriting and aesthetic vision. It’s a track that digs deep and doesn’t let go until its enthralling finish – a vivid listening experience that takes you into RYL0’s interior world, and shows you a special, exclusive glimpse into everything to come from the soon-to-be star.

Now, RYL0 unleashes ‘Leave Me Alone,’ a new single that expands the artist’s storybook even further. Following multiple projects devoted to exploring the inner workings of her personality, ‘Leave Me Alone’ sees RYL0 taking a step back and learning to let go of her self-interrogation.

Delving into the world of contemporary pop-punk, the new track is produced by frequent RYL0 collaborator Cary Singer. But the song doesn’t merely copy Y2K nostalgia trends: ‘Leave Me Alone’ recontextualizes pop-punk tropes of the 2000s with a distinctly modern lens and showcases RYL0’s singular songwriting talent.

‘Leave Me Alone’ kicks off with a crunchy guitar riff and backing hum melodies before RYL0 comes in with the song’s hook for the intro. On the first verse, the track drops into its trunk-rattling, bass-boosted beat that underlies RYL0’s pointed lyricism and catchy delivery. Then, following an ear candy-fueled pre-chorus, RYL0 brings the hook back in over the explosive instrumental.

Following another vibrant verse and chorus, the track’s outro then blends the song’s raucous beat, guitars, central melodic phrase, and additional soaring synth lines into a cathartic finish – a rousing final statement to this era of RYL0 before a new chapter awaits.
