Last Friday, May 22, 2026, Barry J Walsh officially released his brand new celestial pop single, “Star Ride.” Tapping into the legendary cosmic songwriting tradition of David Bowie, Walsh delivers a supersonic slice of pop that brilliantly navigates the lovelorn tensions between Mars and Venus.
The track scores the heavens with stacked, soaring harmonies and glammed-up, jangly guitar riffs that echo 50s sci-fi and Joe Meek’s classic “Telstar.” Complete with an authentic Apollo 11 countdown woven right into the instrumental break, the song tells the story of an earthbound protagonist helplessly longing for a free-spirited, gravity-defying cosmic lover. Will they collide or plummet back to earth with a dull thud? “Star Ride” is all about taking a chance and reaching for the stars. Stream it now and let this star-spangled anthem take you to infinity.
