“Drifting Away” by Tainted Youth is the kind of song that immediately makes you stop what you’re doing and just listen. It’s delicate without being fragile, intimate without feeling overly polished. There’s something incredibly human in the way it unfolds—like the duo is sharing a piece of their heart with whoever happens to be listening.
The vocals are tender and expressive, gently rising above shimmering drum and bass rhythms that ebb and flow like waves. You can hear the years of friendship and growth between Ryan and Kathleen in every second—it’s in the chemistry, the patience, and the way the lyrics seem to land so naturally on the beat. You’re not just hearing a song, you’re hearing a bond.
Tainted Youth have always felt refreshingly honest in their sound, but “Drifting Away” might be their most touching release yet. It’s both a reflection and a reset—deeply personal, beautifully crafted, and impossible not to feel. An easy favorite, and a lovely sign of even more to come.
