Rationale lands “Prodigal Son” like a late-breaking favorite: sleek, soulful, and already sounding bigger than the room it’s in. The hooks arrive clean and sharp, so the track feels essential before it even settles in.
Glassy synths, clipped percussion, and a low-end pulse give the song a cool, late-night sheen. The vocal sits close to the mic, warm but restless, while the arrangement keeps opening and tightening in just the right places.
On a hot commute, a post-work walk, or a quiet desk break, the song adds momentum without turning frantic. It feels made for the moment when the day needs a lift and the city starts to glow.
