Lil Nas X, celebrated his 25th birthday not with gifts for himself, but with a present for his fans—a new single titled “RIGHT THERE” from his upcoming ‘NASARATI 2’ mixtape. The release, which debuted on SoundCloud on April 10, marks the artist’s continued exploration of bold themes and sounds, promising a thrilling follow-up to his 2018 ‘Nasarati’ mixtape.
In “RIGHT THERE,” Lil Nas X combines rap with a soul-stirring gospel choir, creating a vibrant backdrop as he delivers lines that blend playful bravado with profound self-expression. The track is a powerful testament to his artistic evolution, showcasing his ability to blend different musical genres and cultural elements seamlessly.
In an earlier post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the “Old Town Road” singer addressed the use of biblical imagery in his work, explaining it as a metaphor for his artistic resurrection and not as a slight to religious groups. His approach aims to spark conversations rather than controversy, emphasizing the personal connection he feels to his music as a source of spirituality and self-discovery.
Lil Nas X’s candid revelations about his journey with faith and music were highlighted in his HBO documentary, ‘Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero,’ where he describes finding a “presence bigger” than himself through his musical career, underscoring the personal and transformative power of his artistry.
