Fresh off his Australian tour, rising R&B star BOY SODA has announced Soulstar Deluxe, an extension of his incredible debut album.
Set for release on June 19th, the deluxe album will feature five brand new tracks, including “Chase Your Tail”, out today via Warner Music Australia.
“Chase Your Tail” explores the cycles, habits and repeating lessons we as humans can’t seem to break free from. BOY SODA said: it’s about “the loops and cycles we find ourselves in, and habits that people refuse to break”.
He said: “Everyone is chasing a dragon’s tail in some form and I think it’s interesting when we, as humans, have to go through multiple repeats of lessons before we understand those experiences fully.
“It was an honour to finally link with MXXWLL for this, and we have so much fun and connect on a musical level that I really enjoy. It’s such an exciting thing to be able to extend the life of SOULSTAR and add new music and creative offerings into the album world that we so carefully created.”
Last month, BOY SODA captivated crowds in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney with the ‘2026 Lil’ Obsession Tour’. He also recently pocketed his first ever ARIA Award, taking home Best Soul/R&B Release for the breakout hit “Lil’ Obsession”.
Originally recently in October, Soulstar is a bold and genre-blurring statement, with tracks about love, grief, celebration, and self-discovery.

“I think self-expression is the ability to curate the life that comes from within us, and my only goal as an artist is to be in touch with that output,” he told Rolling Stone AU/NZ in an interview last year.
“For Soulstar, it’s the first time I’ve had the vocab or the ability to notate certain elements in me, and I’m really proud of how that all arrived on a visual, styling and musical level — it all feels very intuitively correct and divinely aligned.”
BOY SODA recently travelled to the US in partnership with East West – a JV of Warner Music. While in Los Angeles, he collaborated with creators and media platforms including Garden Sessions, Goyo, and On The Radar – before heading to New York Fashion Week where he attended shows by Prada, Keem Studios, and KSUBI, and connected with creators such as Indie Hourzz and Tyler Walsh.
The up-and-comer has also recently signed with LA-based talent agency United Talent Agency, whose roster includes the likes of The Kid LAROI.
