Quentin Moore doesn’t just make music—he makes movement. With a voice that floats between honeyed croon and gritty sermon, and a catalog that spans 13 albums, 50 million viral views, and stages in more than 30 countries, Moore has built a legacy on joy, groove, and community. His newest single, “Ride With You,” is no exception. It’s a summer-soaked soul anthem that transforms the mundane into magic, everyday drives into love letters, and quick store runs into scenes of cinematic sweetness.
Recorded entirely in his home studio, “Ride With You” is a masterclass in musical craftsmanship. Moore lays down every rhythm himself—drums, bass, guitar, organ, and an array of percussive textures that thump like heartbeats and shimmer like sunlight through tinted windows. It’s the kind of song that sounds like it was made for motion, dripping with ‘70s warmth and built on a Southern-soul foundation that recalls legends like Frankie Beverly & Maze, Sam Cooke, and the Isley Brothers. But Moore doesn’t stop there. The track slides into modern psychedelia, evoking the fluid cool of Khruangbin without losing its front-porch roots.
Collaborators Emsy Robinson, Ben Bohorquez, Olajide Paris, and Vandell Andrews elevate the sonic world Moore builds. From Robinson’s slick lead guitar licks to Bohorquez’s horn work and Andrews’ sax solo that smolders like a summer night, each contribution feels intentional, soulful, and fully alive. The track’s final polish comes courtesy of Grammy-recognized mix masters Kevin “KD” Davis and Vidal Davis, whose touch helps “Ride With You” glow from start to finish.
The lyrical core is beautifully simple: “I wanna ride with you.” It’s a sentiment that feels like a hug—warm, loyal, undemanding. Whether it’s a metaphor for lifelong partnership or just a reason to roll the windows down and let the wind take the stress away, Moore delivers it with such sincerity that it sticks. His call to fans to join in a social-media line-dance challenge only deepens that communal vibe. He’s not just dropping a single—he’s igniting a celebration, turning sidewalks into soul trains and timelines into dance floors.
Moore’s DIY approach—self-producing, crowdfunding, and commanding attention from icons like Snoop Dogg, Jamie Foxx, and Lil Jon—reminds us that soul music isn’t just about sound, it’s about heart, hustle, and human connection. From his UK Soul Chart triumphs to sharing stages with Anthony Hamilton, Gary Clark Jr., and Robert Glasper, Moore has proven time and again that authenticity wins. With “Ride With You,” he offers yet another reason to roll the windows down, turn the volume up, and cruise through life together—beat by beat, soul by soul.
