Independent artist and film producer Tarric returns with “Ride On,” an unflinching new single that rejects victimhood and replaces despair with defiance. The track is a visceral meditation on endurance, crafted with the urgency of someone who’s lived through collapse and found a reason to keep going.
Where other artists reach for closure, Tarric grabs the mic and chooses confrontation. “Ride On” is not about overcoming—it’s about surviving in real time. The lyrics tear through self-doubt (“My foundation crumbles now that everything’s gone wrong”) only to grip tighter to resilience (“Failures something that is sweet / I’ll learn something from defeat”). The chorus isn’t a hook; it’s a command: Ride on. Ride on.
Tarric’s musical DNA blends classic ’80s influences like The Smiths and Depeche Mode with the modern edge of indie rock and alternative pop. But it’s his story that gives weight to every lyric. He moved to Los Angeles with $400 and a catalog of songs, grinding his way through the entertainment industry while building a fanbase through alternative radio hits (“I Had It Wrong”) and music videos that earned airtime on MTV.
“Ride On” marks another chapter in Tarric’s evolution. As he prepares to release his second full-length album, Method, the track functions as both a mission statement and a lifeline for listeners in crisis. There’s no romanticizing hardship here, just the call to move forward when there’s nothing left to lose.
