ALBUM REVIEW: Moon Boots - Ride Away out now on Anjunadeep

 


After months of build up and anticipation from fans, talented music producer, keyboardist and DJ Moon Boots releases his exceptional third studio album Ride Away, out via Anjunadeep today. The album features an international superstar cast of collaborators including Cherry Glazerr, Nic Hanson, Ora The Molecule, Dope Earth Alien, and Black Gatsby.


The culmination of Moon Boots’ colourful career, Ride Away was written and produced by the Brooklyn-based musician over a nearly two-year period. Hauling in a crate’s worth of musical influences, Moon Boots has imbued Ride Away with his characteristic blend of soul, disco, and house music, whilst also introducing the sounds of synthpop, breakbeats, and psychedelia.

“Creating my new album Ride Away helped keep me going through unsteady times and joyous times. This album is about love and connection and being there for each other. My intention is for people to feel free when they hear this album, to get recharged, to be stimulated by something they’ve never heard before.”  – Moon Boots


Having accrued well over 100 million streams on Spotify alone, and having been championed by the likes of Annie Mac, Diplo, Danny Howard, and The Blessed Madonna, Moon Boots has established himself as a trailblazer of R&B-infused dance music. Having released on legendary French house label French Express, and remixed the likes of Dua Lipa, Robyn, and Nile Rodgers, Dougherty’s production prowess is in high demand, whilst his eclectic DJ sets and live shows (including a full live band) have seen him tour the world, with recent headline shows sold out across North America and Australia. From May 2023, fans can experience Ride Away live when Moon Boots takes it on a 5-date North American tour. Kicking off in Denver with dates in Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, expect nothing short of a high-energy, vibrant, upbeat live show from the musical whiz kid.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Moon Boots is another example of the diversity that someone can discover on Anjunadeep roster of artists. His album Ride Away as the colourful psychedelic style artwork suggests is an upbeat upfront mixture of feel good house music with disco, funk, soul and hi-nrg as well. By collaborating with great singers he builds tracks full of fun, optimism and motivation to start your day, to enjoy in the lunch break and fly away from the 4 walls of your office, continue after a hectic day at work listening in your ride back or by inviting some friends at home and booty shaking and bumping in your living room ending the day proceedings with a big wide smile in your face. The productions values at stake are very high and u can sense all the artistry and love invested from the artist to create an exceptional sonic environment that u simply can not stop listening as it makes you feel ready to dance decades of electronic music in one album. #PureGold Love iT[/content]
