Emerging artist Khari! is turning heads with his latest release, “By My Side”, a genre-bending anthem that blends pop melodies with touches of country soul and emo rap vulnerability. Already available on all major platforms, the track is positioning itself as a standout in Khari!’s growing catalog, and a potential breakout hit.
Best known for emotionally raw songs exploring heartbreak and personal struggle, Khari! takes a bold new direction on “By My Side,” bringing a fresh sense of hope to his music. The track was inspired by a chance connection with someone who flipped his outlook on love, a rare spark that lit a different kind of creative fire.
“Most of my music leans into the pain and loss of relationships,” Khari! shares. “But this one came from a place of genuine appreciation and hope… it’s about meeting someone who shifts your entire perspective.”
The result is a catchy yet vulnerable record about discovering a love so real, you never want to go back to how life was before. With lyrics exploring deep admiration such as, wishing someone could see themselves through your eyes and a sound that fuses upbeat pop energy with emotional depth, “By My Side” hits a rare sweet spot between radio-ready and soul-baring.
Engineered, mixed, and mastered by longtime friend and collaborator Slam Cesnak, the track showcases Khari!’s versatility as a vocalist and songwriter. Slam’s polished production allows the emotion to breathe while keeping the sound crisp and immersive a balance that makes the song instantly replayable.
Already picking up traction among early listeners, “By My Side” feels like the kind of track that can break out far beyond Khari!’s current fanbase. For those just discovering him, this is the perfect entry point into an artist whose honesty and range are impossible to ignore.
