Riding the momentum of a banner year marked by tours with Ayra Starr and Nia Archives, and a prestigious nod as Complex’s Best New Artist, the genre-defying visionary SadBoi is back to dazzle and disrupt with her new hit “Slide” available to stream on Friday, March 8th across all digital platforms via LVRN Records/The Orchard – LISTEN HERE.
“‘Slide’ is one of those songs that I really made with no intention other than to uplift myself and make myself laugh,” shares SadBoi. “But let it be known that I really am that girl on and off social media.”
“Slide” sees the Toronto artist fully embracing the raw energy of drill rap, a dynamic departure from her R&B origins. Her naturally smooth voice takes on the gritty texture of drill, blending seamlessly with the genre’s sharp, compelling beats influenced by Brazil’s baile funk.
This bold transition underscores her versatile artistry, showcasing her ability to adapt and thrive in new sonic landscapes. “Slide” heralds a new chapter in SadBoi’s musical journey as <a href="she maintains her hallmark of genuine emotion and authenticity.
Most recently, SadBoi joined forces with the alt-pop artist/producer Lolo Zouaï for a stellar remix of previously released single “Potential.” Originally released in June 2023, the Caribbean-infused track garnered over 1 million streams on Spotify alone and secured SadBoi a spot on the platform’s highly coveted Best Pop Songs of 2023 year-end playlist.
Having recently supported Nia Archives (Up Ya Archives) and Ayra Starr (21: The World Tour) on tour across North America last year, the Atlanta-based powerhouse dominated 2023 with a series of back-to-back single and music video releases, showcasing her versatility as a performer and solidifying her status as a standout artist to watch this year.
From the smooth low-key pop hit “LIE LIE LIE!” to the infectious “Sister Wives” to her latest dancehall anthem “Gyal Clown”, SadBoi is only getting started. Watch her most recent performances for On The Radar Radio HERE and The Lot Radio HERE.
