All Skate is an Austin-based soul-pop collective founded by songwriter and producer Bruce Popky and powered by a dynamic ensemble of vocalists and musicians. In ’70s roller-rink lingo, “all skate” meant “everyone do your thing,” a spirit the band carries forward through warm pop melodies, Brazilian rhythmic influences, and vibrant live-band energy. Their music celebrates joy, movement, and togetherness, creating groove-driven songs built for connection and release.
The groove-fueled and technicolored “Better Let That Go” is the latest single from this promising young band. The infectious, sleek arrangement is accented by soulful vocals that deliver uplifting poetry and heartfelt performances. Everything about All Skate’s latest is inviting. From the initial harmonies that wash over the listener with a reassurance, to the bubbly arrangement that produces serene textures, “Better Let That Go” is an out-of-body, all-encompassing listening experience. The fact that this band can fit so many dimensions into just one single song is impressive enough, but they aren’t letting such an unforgettable tune go to waste. “Better Let That Go” encourages the listener to release themselves of things they can’t control, and bask in the glory of the moments that bring unbridled joy. “Better Let That Go” is a stunning introduction to All Skate, a band on the rise in a burgeoning Austin, Texas music scene, who is doing it on their own terms.
“‘Better Let That Go’ aims to celebrate the beauty of life on its own terms. We all get caught up in habitual suffering, but we’ve also been gifted the ability to choose differently and let it go,” explains the band. “This song is a reminder for the moments when we need a nudge to remember our option to be joyous.”
