Concept and music
Astrid S about the concept behind the album[1]
"The pieces fell into place after I wrote the first song for Joyride. It's a road trip album and a tribute to childhood memories and all the hours in the car with dad."
"This album is inspired by all the roadtrips I’ve had with my dad growing up and the music we listened to. And my never ending failing love life. Hehe. And friends who part ways. And falling in love! And everything in between.
