RYLAND Brings Genre-Bending Vibes with Showing Friends

Portland’s own RYLAND is making waves with his latest release, Showing Friends, a 10-track collection that showcases his unique sound, blending the alternative edges of various genres into one smooth, cohesive style. The project is hard to pin down, as it navigates through different musical landscapes with ease, proving that RYLAND is unafraid to push boundaries and explore new territories.

One standout track is the single “Get By RN,” which delivers that cinematic feeling—think of the moment in a movie where everything falls into place, and you’re the main character. The track’s infectious rhythm and emotional resonance create an atmosphere that feels both familiar and fresh, bringing listeners into a world where genre lines blur but everything still makes perfect sense.

RYLAND’s experimental approach works to his advantage, appealing to those who crave variety in their music but don’t want to sacrifice depth or emotion. Showing Friends isn’t just an album; it’s an experience that invites you to sit back, listen, and get lost in its many layers. It’s music for people who appreciate innovation, but also want something they can relate to—a balance that RYLAND masters effortlessly.

With this release, RYLAND cements his position as one of Portland’s most exciting up-and-coming artists, ready to take his distinct sound beyond local borders.
