An anthem for your dearest relationship. Not for your lover, not for your family, ‘Best Friend’ is about that companion who never lets us down and who’s always going to cheer us up no matter the moment. From New York City’s eccentric synth pop duo Ryal, ‘Best Friend’ describes the relationship we have with our pets, becoming a vibrant anthem for that uniquely special and untainted relationship. Originally a lullaby for singer Jacque Ryal’s late pup it morphed into dreamy synth anthem recorded to tape and interlaced with puppy noises.
There’s a purity in that companionship, an unsullied wonderful joy that we get when we spend time with our pets that somehow makes all the gloominess and dreariness of the world around us flutter away in an instant. Ryal have captured that glowing warmth with such glorious energy that you’re instantly drawn to those moments you yearn to spend with your furry friends. To those who’ve lost them, it even serves as a nostalgic albeit teary reminder of that loveable relationship.
