(Despite the title, I donвЂ™t think the album will be too influenced by Max CavaleraвЂ™s post-Sepultura nГј-metal band. The next Rod Wave album is called SoulFly. Given that Pray 4 Love isnвЂ™t even a year old, I donвЂ™t think anyoneвЂ™s too mad. The вЂњStreet RunnerвЂќ video is mostly footage of Rod Wave flying around in private jets and being successful, but it opens with a note to fans apologizing for any delays. The song ends with a long and presumably-genuine voicemail message that makes it clear someone is missing him, too. The track samples вЂњ Mixed Signals,вЂќ a 2017 track from the singer-songwriter Ruth B, and it finds Rod Wave crooning about achieving his dreams but still missing someone. (Successful people can still be sad, but itвЂ™s not always something that the world wants to hear.) On his new single вЂњStreet Runner,вЂќ heh finds a new tone - a happy, bittersweet feeling. It would be a bit weird, maybe, if the now-massively-successful Rod Wave came back after Pray 4 Love singing about how sad he still is. But none of that has dimmed Rod WaveвЂ™s star, and now heвЂ™s getting ready to release a new album. Rod Wave has been through some calamities since he came to fame, like the car crash documented on the single вЂњ Through The WireвЂќ or the stage-collapse at the show that shouldnвЂ™t have been happening during a pandemic in the first place. On the albums Ghetto Gospel and Pray 4 Love, Rod Wave perfected his approach: Sad, bluesy, tender songs sung over trap beats. These mixed signals, mixed signals, theyre killing me / I dont know what you want, but I know what I. In the past year and a half, the rap-adjacent Florida singer Rod Wave has become a huge star.
