Every time I see that PawPaw Rod is dropping a new song, I know it's going to outdo his last. His latest release, “Shadow,” is no exception. This track blends classical funk with modern indie, creating a beautiful listen.

To catch the vibe of “Shadow,” check out the visualizer — it takes you back to the 1960s with a Palm Springs mid-century modern aesthetic and his vibrant fashion that perfectly matches his music. “Shadow” is a journey of self-improvement and embracing imperfections. The synths and guitars complement his incredible vocals, and I can’t get enough of it.

PawPaw Rod has been one of my favorite emerging artists this year, and he’s on the rise with his tour kicking off on July 24th in Nashville. It’s a mix of headlining shows, opening for Still Woozy, and a festival run including Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza.
