‘From Touch 2 Tackle’ is the new single by River Nelson and AltoBeats, quickly following his critically acclaimed release ‘The Mindfulness Remix’ featuring Hiphop veteran Koncept, the boys are back!
Amidst this new offering, River Nelson’s lyrics intertwine the narrative of American Football to explain the vast and painful difference between one’s carefree youth, and adulthood..
River said:
“I just wanted to focus on how life can get harder for people as the years go by, and that transitioning into adulthood can sometimes feel like the difference between a game of touch and full contact. This jump becomes more aggressive, challenging, and can have much harsher consequences if done incorrectly”.
The slick and head-nodding production is handled by River’s partner in crime AltoBeats. His confidant, who worked with River on latest studio album ‘We Should Escape’, and previous LP ‘Like the Sun Didn’t Sink.’
