Adrianna Love at first play! 💜

A starry midnight walk in the sleeping neon lit Retron City. Passed Nina's Diner on the edge of town and the Krosia Mini Mart by the tracks. Saw the Timecop Arcade and remember playing the FM Attack machine after school. AWITW always with the top score nobody could beat.

Walked passed the Aztec Records radio center. Reading their top song of the month "Breaking Away" by Bunny X & SelloRekt / LA Dreams. Favorite track: Breaking Away (Song for Chevette & Rydell).

about

'Breaking Away (Song for Chevette & Rydell),' the second single from the upcoming album, was solely inspired by renowned science fiction author William Gibson's 'Bridge' trilogy which includes the novels Virtual Light (1993), Idoru (1996) and All Tomorrow's Parties (1999) and centers specifically on two recurring characters in the series, Chevette Washington (a bicycle courier) and Berry Rydell (a security guard). The two characters, who appear prominently in Virtual Light and All Tomorrow's Parties, and upon whom the track is based, navigate a dystopian post earthquake California and continue to find themselves in one predicament after another.

Breaking Away (Song for Chevette & Rydell) brings Bunny X together again with legendary synthwave/80s producer SelloRekt / LA Dreams and marks their fourth collaboration with one another. 'Breaking Away' was originally released as an instrumental track on SelloRekt / LA Dreams' EP entitled Break Away, released in July 2022. Similar to their prior collaborations, Bunny X approached SelloRekt / LA Dreams with an idea for a vocal arrangement and what you're now hearing is the final result.

lyrics

[LYRICS]

You weren’t what I was expecting
Even a little bit
And when I first met you, you drove me crazy
How did we end up here like this?

Everyone was after me, including you
But I see now you were only trying to help
You knew the bridge was coming down

But we could break away
I think we should
Let’s get outta this place
I know we could

Rush back to the interstate
Before the getting’s good
Tomorrow is another day
Want it to be with you

And all the years of running
Didn’t get me anywhere
I just end up coming back to you again
Just when the world’s gone up in fire

But we could break away
I think we should
Let’s get outta this place
I know we could

Rush back to the interstate
Before the getting’s good
Tomorrow is another day
Want it to be with you

Want it to be with you
Want it to be with you
Want it to be with you

This is a great compilation! However, what's with the hyper-politicized track 5 and its “extremist” lyrics??—totally out of place (hypocritical for a traditional Christmas context) and that'll be dropped from my playlist. exsurgo
