Australian Soul & R&B Artist BOY SODA Launches New Era with 'Lil Obsession'

Rising Australian talent BOY SODA is taking the world of soul and R&B by storm, ushering in a new musical era with his latest single, 'Lil Obsession,' out now via Warner Music Australia. With a sound that fuses jazz, blues, neo-soul, R&B, and pop, BOY SODA’s latest track showcases his lyrical depth and passion for live instrumentation.

"Lil Obsession" offers listeners a powerful glimpse into the direction of BOY SODA's forthcoming debut album.

Reflecting on the inspiration behind the song, BOY SODA shares, "'Lil Obsession' is about letting go, and surrendering to the reality of a relationship that’s been ruptured, or served its purpose. Making it brought self-validation and release, and helped me actualize feelings I was struggling to articulate, as music often does."

The emotional weight of the track carries a deeper meaning. "It’s not a ‘f*ck you’ song by any means - more of a personal recount based on true events. I’m really excited to introduce these live elements, and tone of voice to people that find it, because it marks the beginning of a new era, creatively and spiritually for me."

This marks a significant moment in BOY SODA’s artistic journey, as he taps into a new creative direction with the help of a community of classically trained musicians, co-writers, and vocalists. To craft his forthcoming album, BOY SODA spent two weeks in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, drawing inspiration from the environment, his collaborators, and the music that continuously shapes him.

The release of "Lil Obsession" follows last year’s hit 'MERLOT,' which earned wide support across Australia, including major airplay on Triple J. The rising star has been a mainstay on the national airwaves, with standout performances such as his celebrated Bars of Steel appearance showcasing his versatility and dynamic vocal range.

Stay tuned as BOY SODA’s journey unfolds and the next wave of his musical evolution takes shape.
