The EP's lead single, "City Boy," sets the tone with its energetic „kick-snare“ beats and strong harmonic focus. Drawing inspiration from his formative years in the vibrant 1990s, Functionist takes listeners on a sonic journey through the bustling streets of Manhattan to a time when he rode his bike, collecting vinyl promos as a young DJ in New York City. "City Boy" skillfully captures the essence of urban life, evoking both the dynamic energy and the sense of solitude amidst a bustling cityscape.
This composition invites listeners to feel the dramatic intensity and warmth of an urban environment. It reflects the myriad emotions one can experience amid the bustling crowds, emphasizing the importance of unity and support in such a setting. With its compelling narrative, "City Boy" carries a message that resonates with individuals seeking connection in a bustling world.
