Written by: Safaque Kagdi
If you're searching for the perfect track to accompany a long drive, look no further than Keshi’s new single, Texas. With its laid-back vibe, this song sets the tone for a smooth and relaxed ride. The artist sticks to his signature style by keeping the composition and production raw and simple.
The track opens with soft guitar strums and nostalgic lyrics: “Take me back to Texas, take me back to 17, let me race the train tracks, just to smell the gasoline." These lines instantly transport you to a time when life’s simple pleasures meant everything.
Keshi, 29, born Casey Luong, has quickly risen to fame with his unique blend of lo-fi beats, R&B, and indie sounds. Known for his introspective lyrics and minimalist production, the Viet-American artist has built a strong fanbase with hits like “Like I Need U,” “Limbo,” and “Drunk.” His ability to capture raw emotions in simple yet evocative compositions has made him a standout in the music industry.
Much like his earlier single Dream, which featured a cinematic music video, Texas strips down the instrumentation. Instead of piano, this time the acoustic guitar takes center stage. By the end of the track, you’ll be left wanting more of Keshi’s easy-going style.
Vocally, Keshi’s performance flows effortlessly, matching the relaxed mood of the song. The track maintains a steady, linear progression, aligning with its simple yet powerful vibe. Subtle backing vocals and whispered harmonies add depth, making the song even more mesmerizing. While some songs are just music, others take you on a journey—and Texas does exactly that.
Keshi’s knack for turning everyday moments into musical experiences continues to resonate, and Texas is yet another example of why his approach works so well.
