Written while spending extended periods away from home, a contrast to the original album made on home soil. The deluxe reflects the evolution of the SOULSTAR world, carrying the soul of the original while embracing new experiences made on the move over the past year.
Speaking on the deluxe version of SOULSTAR, BOY SODA said, "Having the opportunity to dive deeper into SOULSTAR has been a joy - revisiting the world and making it shinier and truly presenting a deluxe version of the OG is a privilege. A lot of these songs were made away from home compared to the original album which was very much on home soil so being able to carry the music around with me and live with it while I've been on the move has really informed how you hear it now."
After captivating audiences across Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney on his 2026 Lil' Obsession Tour in March, and taking home his first-ever ARIA Award for Best Soul/R&B Release " alongside delivering a landmark ARIA performance with the category's fellow nominees " BOYSODA has firmly cemented himself as one of Australia's most compelling new voices in soul and R&B.
