Black Coast - Ride ft M.Maggie


Here’s a swish, cinematic piece of pop from Black Coast (producer Stan Rapoport). Having already pressed music bloggers buttons with the songs TRNDSTTR and Enough (which we featured here) he returns once again with vocalist M. Maggie in tow. However, despite the fact that this is Black Coast’s third song and each one has featured the same vocalist, Stan has clarified that Black Coast is not a duo. “It has definitely been confusing for everyone to see three songs come out back to back from two collaborators who aren’t in an actual band together. I think Maggie and I are enjoying the freedom to constantly write with other people and be able to switch things up,” Stan told go to blog / website Hilly Dilly earlier today.

Ride is affirmation that Black Coast knows how to put a song together. There’s a hint of Ultravox’s Vienna in those first few seconds (always a good thing) before the tune gradually grows through gentle and considered restraint to something more powerful, without ever being bombastic. If you’re a fan of the more melancholy side of pop music that we post a fair amount of on Breaking More Waves, you’ll like this.
