Rising Melbourne R&B talent Shiroy is back with his new single, "On and On." The track is a pacy mix of evocative storytelling intertwined with smooth melodic beats that resonate with anyone who has ever found themselves stuck in the cycle of love. It is a soft and melodic confession about the tug-of-war between choosing to stay and letting go. It is set amidst summer heartbreak and emotional frustration.
The track opens up on an emotionally charged voice note. Shiroy's voice, full of regret and assurance at the same time, ascents you through the ups and downs of signals unreciprocated and emotions unconfessed. The track lasers together elements of '90s electrifying pianos, arpeggiated guitar, and trap-influenced drums, creating a combination of retro essence and modern finesse that pins the rhythm alive while reflecting the rhythm of contemporary love.
Talking about the essence behind the songwriting, Shiroy shares, "It's about that cycle, you know you should move on, but you don't. It's messy, it's emotional, but it's real. I wanted it to feel like summer heartbreak with a bounce," and that is precisely what the gist of the track is all about. "On and On" reflects the bitter-sweet taste of wanting answers and drowning back into the rhythm of longing and passion. The tune exaggerates the groove with every beat, pulling you in for more depth into the abyss.
At just 16, Shiroy has already proven himself as the game-changer within the world of R&B. From Mauritius and based in Melbourne, his sound caught the eye of millions as his debut single landed atop the iTunes Australia R&B/Soul charts. He is quickly becoming a musical genius with each new release, and the essence of "On and On" whispers the promise of a spectacular view of R&B, which comes to life through this track. There's no better summer hit than this one for anyone wanting to edge into the lost and found love spectrum.
