Central Coast musician BOY SODA has just dropped his sweet-as-sugar new single, LOVEU2BITS, and it's a track that you'll want to share with that someone special. It's catchy as all hell, and BOY SODA is feeling at peace with the world.
He's released the track with a music video directed by Bailey Watts, and it is simultaneously sweet and tragic. The video follows BOY SODA as he looks around him, seeing the relationships in his world turn sour. Despite this, he's looking for someone to love.
BOY SODA's made a name for himself both locally and overseas, heading to the US in 2019 to open for Dominic Fike. Since then, he's been turning heads in the Sydney hip-hop/R&B scenes, releasing a string of singles that make you want to dance, as well as resonate on an emotional level.
