SOLARRIO LAUNCHES NEW ERA WITH FUNK-INFUSED SINGLE “THAT’S NOT ME”

Mr. Benjamins Avatar

 Rising funk and hip-hop artist Solarrio is making waves with his electrifying new single, “That’s Not Me.” This track is the first taste of his highly anticipated sophomore album, Toxicology, and continues to build on the momentum of his debut album, All The Wrong Places. With a fresh, assertive sound, Solarrio takes listeners on a groovy ride packed with funk, disco, and infectious energy.

Blending elements of funk, disco, and live instrumentation, “That’s Not Me” showcases Solarrioโ€™s signature style. Rich live strings and bold brass sections add warmth and musicality to an already intoxicating groove. While the production brings the party, Solarrioโ€™s sharp lyricism makes it clearโ€”heโ€™s not the one to play with.

Produced by Solarrio & Antdawg, with mixing and mastering by Khalil Chahine, and music composed by David Barenboim & Alhassan Sakho, the track brings together top-tier talent to craft a sound that is both timeless and fresh. “That’s Not Me” is an upbeat funk/disco-infused track with cheeky lyrics that set the stage for the themes explored in Toxicology. The project dives deep into modern toxicityโ€”whether in relationships, culture, or society at large. This track serves as the perfect introduction to this new chapter, setting the tone with its unapologetic energy and undeniable funk.

“Hey y’all, thanks for taking the time to check out my new song. It’s an upbeat funk/disco-infused track with cheeky lyrics. It’s the first offering from my forthcoming project Toxicology. I’m just trying to spread awareness, get on some fitting playlists, and raise my artist profile so I can get more shows, etc. Thanks for your support!” โ€“ Solarrio

Review by Mr. Benjamins

Hello Solarrio,

Thank you for submitting your track! I must say, this is an incredible song youโ€™ve created. The calming, relaxing, and laid-back vibe youโ€™ve crafted is hypnotizingโ€”it really draws you in. What stands out even more is the way you delivered your vocals with such passion and emotion; it truly amplifies the impact of the song and enhances its overall effect.

The vibe of this track reminds me a lot of Tupacโ€™s To Live and Die in L.A.โ€”thereโ€™s something reflective and nostalgic about it, yet still so engaging and danceable. It strikes that perfect balance of being both relaxing and lively, which is no small feat. I can really appreciate how youโ€™ve been able to pull that off here.

Youโ€™ve done an amazing job with this one. Iโ€™m giving it a solid 10/10.

“That’s Not Me” will be available on all major streaming platforms.
