MIA RODRIGUEZ RETURNS WITH EPIC NEW SELF-EMPOWERMENT SINGLE ‘RIDE’ OUT NOW! - LISTEN / WATCH HERE
Australian artist Mia Rodriguez re-emerges as a force to be reckoned with, blending infectious beats, soul-stirring vocals, and raw, unapologetic energy on her new single ‘RIDE’, co-written by Wajahat Attre, Kawaja Parviz and Xavier Dunn (Peking Duk, Hayde James, Pittbull) and mixed by Teezio (Lil Nas X, Justin Bieber). A sonic exploration of empowerment, identity and liberation, the track not only showcases Mia's musical evolution but also marks a bold departure into uncharted artistic territory.
Taking a brief hiatus from songwriting in 2023 to rest and reflect, as she entered her twenties, Mia felt an undeniable desire to shed her inhibitions and explore themes of self-expression, particularly regarding her sexuality within her music. "I wanted to come out of my shell with self-expression regarding sexuality," Mia explains. The decision to delve into this personal facet of her identity was a deliberate and empowering choice, motivated by a desire to confront past traumas and reclaim control. Mia sees ‘RIDE’ to empower not just herself but countless women who have navigated similar challenges.
The genesis of Mia's creative synergy with her producer and bestie, Xavier Dunn, finds its roots in the electrifying session that gave birth to her new single. Mia recalls, "Writing 'RIDE' was probably the most fun I’ve had writing a song." The chemistry between Mia and Xavier was instantaneous, with the duo crafting the song in a mere 4-5 hours. Xavier's instrumental wizardry became the perfect canvas for Mia's lyrical artistry, marking the first time she had the chance to fully pen her own lyrics and steer her artistic ship.
For Mia, ‘RIDE’ is a bold and unapologetic reclamation of her identity and an anthemic representation of her artistic evolution. “To ride something is to take control," she articulates, revealing a powerful metaphorical theme that courses through the song. ‘RIDE’ becomes more than just a catchy tune; it transforms into a rallying cry for women to reclaim their agency, especially in the face of societal norms that often objectify and marginalize them. In a world where women's sexuality is sometimes commodified, Mia sees 'RIDE' as a vehicle to give back power to those who have had it taken away.
