Vancouver, British Columbia Jul 31, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Independent singer-songwriter and music producer Ryan Dsouza releases his new EP Salt & Soul — a five-track blend of island rhythms, acoustic soul, and heartfelt storytelling — out now on all major streaming platforms.
Drawing on themes of belonging, reflection, and rhythms of everyday life, Salt & Soul captures the dual spirit of its title: the grounded grit of lived experience (“salt”) and the emotional depth that runs through every lyric (“soul”). Produced and arranged by Ryan, the EP features original songs drawn from real-life experiences and emotional moments.
The release includes fan favorites like What’s Behind Da Rainbow, Feel the Breeze, and In Another Life, and introduces the laid-back new single I Love Me Island Life, launching alongside the full EP. A special bonus track, You’ve Got That Zing Thing, brings a playful and romantic close to the listening experience.
Each track offers a unique flavor:
- Feel the Breeze – A breezy pop track inspired by the calm, vibrant landscapes of Kaua’i.
- What’s Behind Da Rainbow – A reflective, light-reggae piece that questions what lies beyond life’s illusions.
- In Another Life – A tender soul ballad imagining the bittersweet realities of love and the ache of what might have been.
- I Love Me Island Life – A laid-back island jam about staying grounded and loving where you come from — rain or shine.
- You’ve Got That Zing Thing – A flirty, bluesy tune that captures the rhythm and playfulness of love.
“I wanted Salt & Soul to feel like a conversation — like the ocean: raw, peaceful, and a little unpredictable,” says Ryan. “This EP is made up of honest songs that come from real places and lived moments — with the kind of emotions that sneak in like a sea breeze.”
Known for his warm melodies and genre-blending sound, Ryan Dsouza continues to champion independent music and honest storytelling that resonates across borders. Salt & Soul is lyrically fresh, musically striking, and emotionally real — the perfect soundtrack for slowing down and soaking up a little sun, wherever you are.
Each track is also featured in the Behind the Vibe video series, offering fans a closer look into the creative process and stories behind the music.
In addition to his solo work, Ryan curates the RD Music Collective — a playlist and community platform that spotlights original music by emerging independent artists, including tracks from Salt & Soul.
