‘Ride or Die’ catches your attention from the get-go with a brief but impactful guitar opening that makes way for amazing, shotgun- like snares that bring the track into full swing.

Staying true to her pendant for warm hooks, ‘Ride or Die’ features an immersive and amazing bassline that provides the backbone for the song. The emphasis on trap elements on this track shows off IRYS’ growing musicianship and ability to expand as an artist.

Not only does her uniquely immersive soundscapes demand your attention from the get-go, IRYS’ smooth vocals and intense lyrical ability keeps you wanting more long after the song’s over. Housing hints of Charlie XCX and The Weeknd, IRYS has already lain the foundations of her musical identity and is now showing off her immense potential.
