BOY SODA’s “Chase Your Tail” is a Smooth, Loop-Breaking Anthem

If you’ve been following the wave of R&B coming out of Australia lately, BOY SODA (Brae Luafalealo) is likely already on your radar. He’s been a standout voice in the “Gen-Z Soul” scene, and his latest single, “Chase Your Tail” makes it very clear why.

Dropped this April, the track serves as a teaser for the upcoming SOULSTAR Deluxe album. It’s the kind of song that feels familiar yet fresh—like a late-night conversation you’ve had a hundred times, but finally set to a perfect beat.

A Dream-Team Collaboration

The magic here comes from the pairing of BOY SODA’s velvet vocals and the production of MXXWLL. If you know MXXWLL’s work, you know he specializes in “stank-face” grooves—those deep, funk-heavy basslines and woozy synths that make it impossible to sit still.

On “Chase Your Tail,” they’ve found a sweet spot. It isn’t just a generic pop track; it’s a textured, neo-soul production that gives BOY SODA plenty of room to flex his vocal harmonies.

The Story: Getting Out of Your Own Head

We’ve all been there—stuck in a mental loop, overanalyzing a relationship, or repeating the same mistakes. That’s the “tail” BOY SODA is talking about. The song captures that specific, frustrating realization that you’re just running in circles.

It’s vulnerable, sure, but there’s an underlying confidence to it. It’s less about the struggle of being stuck and more about the moment you finally decide to stop running and just be.

The Verdict

“Chase Your Tail” feels like a natural evolution from his debut. While his previous hits like “Lil’ Obsession” showed us what he could do with a hook, this new track feels more grounded and intentional.

The Highlights:

• The Vibe: Silky, rhythmic, and perfect for a night-drive playlist.

• The Lyrics: Relatable, conversational, and devoid of the usual pop clichés.

• The Future: It sets a high bar for the five new tracks coming on the SOULSTAR Deluxe edition (dropping June 19th).

If you’re looking for something that bridges the gap between classic soul and modern R&B, this is it. Check out “Chase Your Tail” on all streaming platforms now—it’s a strong contender for the smoothest track of the year.
