There are voices that trap you in pain, while there are others that feel like it emerged from the battle to speak their truth. Irian Darkwood’s voice is the latter, scarred yet sharp and ferocious. With her latest single Ride Or Die Kinda Girl, she steps into the stage like the most rocking woman in the room.
Recorded in both Halifax, Canada, and Stockholm, Sweden, Darkwood continues to outdo herself with a grit-soaked, impactful single that mirrors her boundless artistry.
The title says it all. Ride Or Die Kinda Girl sounds exactly like its name. The tight guitar riffs and heavy percussion hits screams familiarity, like it was lifted from a golden era where grit and leather jackets reigned supreme. Darkwood’s vocals carry a significant amount of thrill and confidence in it, staying true to the line, “you mess with me you’re gonna know my name”.
The track feels like it’s something made out of steel, it’s unyielding and defiant against anything. While others uplift you with warm, gentle melodies, Darkwood looks you in the eye and dares you to move—whether you crash or fly.
Darkwood doesn’t just rely on shock value, her energy pushes the track forward and maintains it all throughout. Think of Lzzy Hale from Halestorm and her powerhouse vocals, with The Pretty Reckless’ punchy, unapologetic flair dominating in one track? That’s exactly how Ride Or Die Kinda Girl stands out. Tune in and let Irian Darkwood take over your girlboss anthems playlist!
