“Drivin’ To Ya” is a catchy new track from Larkman, an artist and producer based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Initially starting as a hip-hop producer in 2017, Larkman expanded into more pop and R&B ground in 2018. Several enjoyable singles have since released, including “Magic Mirror” in March, which showcased a vintage R&B/soul sound. “Drivin’ To Ya” channels similar soulful yearning, also with a more nocturnal, electro-pop spirit that plays infectiously. More subtle electro-pop beginnings expand with glistening prior to the one-minute mark, with the “all night,” reflective vocal hook succeeding. Atmospheric and convincingly yearning, “Drivin’ To Ya” is a delight from Redman Larkin, who cites his greatest influences as Prince, Tame Impala, and Tyler the Creator.
The artist writes the following regarding the track:
“”Drivin'” is about an introverted, closed off person finding the courage to tell the person they have long had a crush on how they truly feel. The song is imagined as the score to an epic climax of a coming age film, when the main character completes their character arc and realizes their goals.”
