Walter The Producer Sets Course for Rock's Past and Future in "Roadtrip"


Sonically eclectic with an affinity for genre-bending, Walter The Producer has found a new identity to assume. “Roadtrip,” the newest single building out his upcoming EP Modern Rock, offers his take on what a nostalgic sound would take shape as today.

Inspired by a deep dive into catalogs by the likes of Jamiroquai, AC/DC, Eagles, and Sly and the Family Stone, there is both funk and metal embedded in the roots of his new venture. Music is an energy that can only rebirth itself through vessels willing to listen and take risks. “Roadtrip” honors that call, a single that defies time. It believably could have been released in 1985 or 2005, though what would have never faltered is its infectious pull.

Aided by the touch of the very legendary Maxx Morando, “Roadtrip” is an immersive soft rock trip that’s both euphoric and electrifying. “I don’t think I’m safe,” echoes throughout the chorus. In signature Walter The Producer fashion, he has an innate ability to make paranoia groovy, to encapsulate his rampant inner world and alchemize it into something magnetic.

Set to release June 6, Modern Rock is an effervescent thrill ride through many different shades of rock. Featuring the singles “Bad Bad Man” and “Little Lies,” Walter The Producer’s voice far surpasses his age, just as his sound contrasts what everyone else in his generation is doing. He’s having fun discovering himself out loud, a timid soul who can’t negate a deeply embedded ability. As Walter, the performer, nestles more and more comfortably in front of the mic, it’s exciting to witness a star emerge as the rest of the world catches up.
