Though I may be a bit late to discover it, “NYC Ate Your Soul” by the talented artist BOYU is an exceptional track worthy of continuous listening. This song’s impressive quality and beautiful production make it a standout. The catchy chorus, outstanding instrumental arrangement, memorable lyrics, and excellent vocal mixing collectively contribute to its appeal. BOYU, an experienced artist, demonstrates his mastery and passion for music in this unique composition. “NYC Ate Your Soul” deserves global recognition and should be shared widely. Enjoy this remarkable track and spread the word.
“Before taking the recording artist route seriously, I was all in on the corporate banking path, thinking if I worked really hard and climbed the corporate ladder, I would be wealthy at an early age,” says BOYU. “I graduated from Ohio State University on a full ride studying Finance & Economics and immediately started working in Boston at Banco Santander upon graduation (a Spanish multinational financial institution). It turned out to be an extremely dry & soul sucking job that demanded 60-80+ hours a week, leaving me very little time to focus on hobbies, much less create music. Reflecting back now, I wish I’d taken a gap year to breathe and really figure out what I wanted to do with my life but it’s hard when all your peers you’ve surrounded yourself with also took corporate jobs with the highest salary and fanciest title. This was what inspired “NYC Ate Your Soul” as I felt a lot of people rush into the biggest paycheck opportunity in hopes of getting rich fast, ignoring everything else including their health, hobbies/passion and relationships. I took this concept and extrapolated it to a new-comer to NYC – a midwest girl coming from a traditional background, in the big city trying to rise to the ranks of aristocracy with her looks to appease old Wall Street Men, and will do anything to get to the top. Ultimately, she gets tangled in the shadows of the city, and NYC eats her soul and spits her back out.”
