The musical firecracker Alexus Bria returns with another infectious hit, "Trail Ride." The breezy, Southern soul-infused anthem was a record that cemented the song as one that dripped with humor, charm, and, like a shot of tequila, contagious energy, an instant invitation to put on your boots and have a blast. Within seconds of the first note, it's obvious this isn't an all-out party.
"Trail Ride" is down home and country incredible with winks at Daisy Dukes, moonshine, and the pure pleasure of sashaying out with your friends. Bria can tell a story that just sparkles with funny, relatable imagery, and the tale comes alive with that kind of ebullient, infectious fun that you can feel only once they're right there on the trail, laughing, dancing, and sharing a carefree moment with friends. The song's Southern soul flavor creates a warm, jukebox authenticity, bringing traditional country steel-guitar swells and vocals along with a girl-singer story and a modern, chipper bounce of a hook, all of it so damn catchy.
This song is sheer vibrancy and relatability. Although many Southern soul songs emphasize sentimentality, Alexus Bria infuses humor and personality into every beat and lyric. But it's a joyful celebration of the lighter moments in life, and one that shows country music can be both traditional and refreshingly enjoyable. On "Trail Ride," Alexus Bria solidifies her ability to craft truly experiential songs. Whether you've spent years festing on country or are just finding solidarity in Southern soul, this is one feel-good joy ride you're not going to want to miss, and by the time Alexus Bria hits her last chorus, you're step-stepping, sway-swaying, and sing-singing along, and you're fully in the trail-side land of Bria. "Trail Ride" is available now and will score your upcoming country night, trail ride, or spur-of-the-moment living-room dance party.
