Tainted Youth Drop New Single ‘Drifting Away’

Tainted Youth’s "Drifting Away" is one of those songs that feels like it was made just for you, even if you've never met the artists. There’s a quiet magic in the way Kathleen Down’s vocals glide over Ryan Hall’s warm, liquid D&B production—it’s soft, sincere, and effortlessly moving. From the first note, it’s clear this is more than just a track; it’s a piece of their history wrapped in melody.

The fact that this song started back in 2017 adds a layer of nostalgia that you can actually hear. There’s a sense of time passing, of feelings being unpacked slowly, carefully—almost lovingly. You get the feeling that every element was chosen with intention, from the glimmering synth textures to the space left between words. It’s vulnerable in a way that feels safe, like being let into someone’s memory.

Tainted Youth aren’t trying to impress with volume or gimmicks—they’re connecting with honesty. "Drifting Away" is gentle but powerful, the kind of track that stays with you long after it ends. It’s a quiet triumph and a warm reminder that sometimes, the softest songs carry the strongest weight.
