Ballad, Boston’s best kept secret and Maxwell parallel, showcases his powerful voice and solidifies his sound as an artist with his lead single “Give It All” off of his newest EP “Croix”. The Jay Muse-produced track features a blend of old school hip-hop inspired beats with a slow jam feel. Ballad’s signature falsetto soars over the production as he sings about being deeply in love. “Often times we’ll get tested in our relationships,” Ballad expresses. “Give It All is about realizing what that person means to you. Understanding what you want, standing firm, and putting yourself all the way out there for your lover.” His soulful falsetto voice rises and dips at the perfect moments, making you come back for more.
