The entire concept of putting a track like this into a side scrolling fighting game with female stars was a great idea. Never heard anything like this in a game like it before. Well done!
I also want to mention, I actually have an epic vocal album coming soon that's in a similar style to this! If you want announcements and music videos, be sure to subscribe to my channel :)
The vocal tracks in this game set a fantastic mood for their respective areas. Hearing this play when first setting foot in the slums really hammered home that it was the beginning of the endgame.
Good soundtracks compliment a game, but a stellar soundtrack becomes part of its soul and character--you couldn't have one without the other. This is one of the best examples of "stellar soundtrack" I've heard in years and makes for a good, soft alternative to my usual diet of heavy metal. Had to buy the OST so I could listen to it at will wherever I happen to be. If there's ever a River City Girls 2, I hope you'll be involved in its soundtrack!
Thank you so very much J! That means a lot. I'm actually currently working on my debut dark, moody, full-length electropop vocal album right now. It'll have a similar flavor to this track :) Posted a little tease of it not long ago if you want to check it out! ruclips.net/video/kXIpSAERSn8/видео.html
I used to spend a lot of time in the original Kunio games when I was younger imagining different scenarios in my head. I had a lot of time to replay the game making up different stories in my head for the fights going on. When I was playing River City Girls I really got to relive that a bit and the downtown area with this music really felt perfect. The entire soundtrack is amazing but this one really stands out for me and inspires a lot of imagination - as if there is another side to things than the goofy main story. I think you really nailed it. A perfect soundtrack for a perfect reboot.
Long time fan of River City Ransom. Played River City Girls as soon as I could. Got to this point of the game, and it completely derailed my progress. I just had to soak up this song! I can't remember the last time a video game song made me feel this way. Once or year or so, I become compelled to listen to the boss music in OG River City Ransom once a year or so, and during this tradition I remembered about "Watch Your Back" which brought me here today. The point I'm trying to get at is, at first I didn't realize you, the RUclipsr who posted this, was actually the composer responsible for this Masterpiece, until I started reading the comments. Speaking of which, I saw in another comment that last year you had a Vocal Album around the corner, and I'm going to go find it as soon as I post this comment! Liked, Subscribed, and keep up the exemplary work!
Thank you so much for listening, new friend! Yep, my full vocal album is Inner Demons (you can see a handful of music and lyric vids here on my channel). Here it is on Bandcamp if that's your jam
I kind of think that the OST tells a better story than the actual game does. Some secret story hidden underneath, full of eeriness and ghosts and doubts.
Indeed. On the surface, the game is very flippant and silly, which I love. But in the deep, passionate soundtrack, themes and feelings from real life bleed through and reach out to touch the player's very core. As cheerfully as Kyoko and Misako might pummel their way through the angry, desperate gangers of the slums, the BGM reminds us that they might get stabbed and dumped in an alley somewhere... chilling! (Fortunately they're likely packing a hamburger, so they'd heal up fine if that happens)
This song wouldn't escape my mind on a recent trip to Miami. But I welcomed it... it fit the atmosphere and my mood so perfectly. Your music and vocals know exactly how to tap straight into one's feels, and I respect that.
My friend was doing a playthrough of the game and got to the slums where this song was playing. Instantly searched through the whole OST to find it. Found it.
Amazeballs, thank you so much. If you like that dark dreamy vibe, I recently released an entire album of similar stuff :) meganmcduffee.bandcamp.com/album/inner-demons
This song right here made me defeat all the enemies and just listen for awhile, got lost in the melody . My favorite song in the game hands down right by rich✨🖤
Oh nice! I love how moody it is (that's kinda my default). If you like this you might like my dark electropop album releasing on the 21st! Here's the first track from it if you'd like to take a peek :) ruclips.net/video/270qspSNZYk/видео.html
Just try to keep your Heart and Soul clean and pure, Megan. As a Music Composer its your responsibility to keep both Your Heart and Soul away from corruption like Avarice, sorrow and fear since The Heart and Soul is where true Music is said to come from. “Do you do what you for everyone’s joy or your own personal gain?” That’s a question you have to ask yourself from time to time, it may seem like you do it for both ends, but in reality you can only do it for 1 end or the other, the ones that do things for everyone else get everything including eternal support from us fans, those who do things only for themselves are left stranded with nothing.
Thank you so very much! Stick around - I actually have an epic electropop album in a similar style coming next Friday the 21st!! A couple singles and music videos are already up on my channel :)
Thank you! Have you heard my quintessential album Inner Demons? Has a very similar chill and dark vibe :) meganmcduffee.bandcamp.com/album/inner-demons
Megan You Are just AWESOME ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I anticipate River City Girls 2 Almost solely to hear your new tracks. But at least say that that 70% out of 100 of the reason. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Great timing too - I have a pulsing electropop single releasing tomorrow! Make sure to stop by my channel again :)
Спасибо тебе огромное! Бить врагов под женский вокал было очень атмосферно) Песня подходит и для игры, и для дороги в автомобиле, и для медленного танца с девушкой.
Megan McDuffee Its between this one and rich. But every song that has lyrics in this game has a mood to it and I greatly love them all. You did a great job all around with these!
@@evanvance5653 Awesome, thank you. I'm actually working on a full-length vocal album right now in a very similar style. Posted a teaser not long ago :) ruclips.net/video/kXIpSAERSn8/видео.html
Haha, well I'm glad he did. If you like this dark, dreamy, electronic vibe then you'll probably love my new album :) meganmcduffee.bandcamp.com/album/inner-demons
When I first heard this song I had to pause the game because this track just goes too hard! I died so much on a stage because I had to stop and listen lmao! Great work!
Hahah, sorry you died but thank you so much for listening! If you want more tunes in a similar style, I actually have an album coming soon. Keep your eyes on my channel for announcements and music videos :)
All the vocal songs except the intro and outro were done fully by me, including the vocals :) (In fact, a lot of my business is doing vocal for other producers too!)
@@lysitheatracer Thanks! Here's a playlist of all my released vocal work if you're interested :) open.spotify.com/playlist/5xNTcfX1fd25jUwHKMn9Xq?si=Y9zqzd4eRv219Sh7Ms3B9Q

Thank you! No accapella at this time...but if you like this genre/style you might really dig my full album: meganmcduffee.bandcamp.com/album/inner-demons
@@MeganMcDuffee No, thank you for this wonderful soundtrack ! Me and my gf are still replaying the game just to hear your amazing music and beat up the world :D We really do hope to get RCG2 and more games with you in it someday :)

Gracias!!!
One of the best soundtracks I've heard in a Beat Em Up game.
Much obliged! I adore it!
@@devon84173 Thank you so much
@@shivasthong4924 Amazing, so glad!
The entire concept of putting a track like this into a side scrolling fighting game with female stars was a great idea. Never heard anything like this in a game like it before. Well done!
Thanks so much! The whole concept of having all the vocal tracks be sung by an in-game female rockstar was such a cool idea too
This is my favorite song in the game, it's so beautiful.
Cool! Thanks so much
I also want to mention, I actually have an epic vocal album coming soon that's in a similar style to this! If you want announcements and music videos, be sure to subscribe to my channel :)
Exactly thats why there's only 3 dislikes
This one and If You Dare are just so exceptionally good
The music in this game is top tier, the atmosphere the music creates Is a feeling I haven't felt in such a long time. Recommending this to everyone!
So stoked, thank you!! 💜

非常に美しい歌声ですね。私は日本人ですが日本人の私が聴いても非常に美しく感じます。この歌声は飛び抜けて優れた美術品のようです。いつまでも手元に置いて置きたい。そう思ってしまうくらいです。
Thank you so much! You might enjoy my first album also. It has similar moods :) meganmcduffee.bandcamp.com/album/inner-demons
Can I just say I'm SO happy this made a return in RCG2 in Kyoko's room? Really took me back to hear it again.
Oh did it? Lol, I don't even know where most of the songs ended up haha
Hands down my favorite track in a collection of amazing songs. Fantastic.
Thank you 💜
I'm so glad that i played this game, it has one of the best soundtracks i heard this year. these songs really touched my soul.

I literally listened to this on repeat for like 5 hours yesterday
This song wouldn't escape my mind on a recent trip to Miami. But I welcomed it... it fit the atmosphere and my mood so perfectly.
Your music and vocals know exactly how to tap straight into one's feels, and I respect that.
Haha, yeah for better or for worse I can craft an earworm. Thanks my friend :)
Been looking for some chill vocal/beats like these, and I got not only that but also an amazing beat em up game as well! Amazing work!
Thank you so much!! 💜
Buying this tonight.
RAD! Thank you
Me and my wife love the game AND this is our fav song!
Amazing, thanks!!
I heard this in river city 2 I had to find it!!! I love it!
One of the best songs in this game. Looking forward to your work in the next game.

So Megan, are you going to sing music tracks again if another game requires your assistance?
