RBD steps onto the scene with a striking mix of attitude and melody, and their latest single “City Boy” captures everything that makes their sound impossible to ignore. The duo, made up of musical multitools Ørjan Kristoffersen Lund and Fredrik Sele, are based in Stavanger—the sheep and oil capital of Norway—and together they create a brand of pop that is both playful and shadowy, balancing hedonism with a sly sense of self-awareness. Their music feels like it was born for the night, written for the moments when everything is drenched in neon and possibility.
“City Boy” is an uptempo, retro-inspired track that invites you into murky back alleys where the thrill of danger meets the shimmer of temptation. The production is sleek and bold, a nod to the 80s without being trapped by nostalgia, pulsing forward with beats made for dancing beasts. It’s the type of song that plays like a soundtrack for walking under flickering neon lights, where mystery lingers around every corner but the energy keeps you moving.
There’s an undeniable cinematic quality to RBD’s sound. They call it 80’s danger-wave, but it’s more than that—it’s a storm rolling through the club, a rush of thunder layered with synths and hooks that demand to be replayed. “City Boy” leans into that storm, twisting retro sounds into something urgent and alive, while carrying the duo’s signature mix of spiteful positivity and seductive charm.
RBD’s music doesn’t just echo the past, it dances into our darker contemporary times with sly confidence. “City Boy” is proof of that, a track that feels both familiar and fresh, equal parts nostalgia and neon-soaked rebellion. It’s the sound of pop as it should be—catchy, dangerous, and full of life.
