RIOT SON delivers urgency, emotion, and infectious energy in a release that feels both fearless and deeply human.
RIOT SON is back with another standout performance that feels primed to excite both longtime listeners and brand new ears. There’s a confident momentum here, an upbeat and infectious spirit that immediately signals growth while still feeling instinctive and true to who he is. “RIOT SON continues to prove that his releases don’t just arrive; they garner attention from all directions.”
“What Makes You Think” opens with a harmonic arrangement that feels like a gentle windstorm of notes, layered and slowly flowing closer and closer toward you, creating an atmosphere that pulls you in before you even realize it has you. Then, without warning, a drum fill suddenly bursts through, injecting excitement and a brisk tempo that carries a sense of urgency, even as a serious emotional weight hums beneath the surface. The vocals truly shine here, moving at a quick pace yet carrying a wistful, reflective tone that gives the song its emotional gravity. This contrast lands beautifully, as RIOT SON’s flow and delivery feel magnetic, his emotion fully present and unguarded, which is exactly why the track connects so deeply. “What Makes You Think shows RIOT SON balancing energy and emotion with a precision that feels effortless.”
Following that atmosphere-building introduction is a coasting break, where the sound briefly pulls back into a reverberated fade over the beat, creating a moment of suspended anticipation before he quickly drops:
"Let’s Go!"
Returning with a faster, almost running pace, he declares:
"I don’t wanna do this dance with late night talks and cheap romance"
and that line hits with both clarity and conviction. Layered guitars then arrive with a bright, shimmering resonance, perfectly supporting the vocal performance and elevating the momentum even further. What we absolutely love about this song is how it makes you want to move while simultaneously drawing you inward, pairing physical motion with thoughtful reflection. Add in the rolling, euphoric riffs over those driving, propulsive drums, and the result is a release that feels complete, intentional, and undeniably impactful. “With What Makes You Think, RIOT SON delivers a track that dances on the surface while resonating far deeper than expected.”
This release is already setting waves that feel ready to crash, making a strong impression and earning serious attention from fans who are paying close attention to RIOT SON’s trajectory. There’s a sense that this song isn’t just another entry in his catalog, but a moment that signals what’s coming next. “RIOT SON is clearly building something powerful, and What Makes You Think feels like a key piece of that unfolding story.”
