His latest single, Limited Speed, takes listeners on a high-octane journey through the push-and-pull of a love moving at mismatched tempos, joined by professional race car driver Zo\u00eb Barry for the ride.<\/p>\n<p>In a city where slow-burn ballads dominate, Gerber takes a different lane. The song blends his confessional songwriting with cinematic production, crafting an emotional parallel between romance and racing. \u201cIt\u2019s about when love\u2019s timing is off,\u201d Gerber says. \u201cOne person\u2019s soaking in the moment while the other\u2019s already in the fast lane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More from Spin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/08\/5-albums-i-cant-live-without-will-anderson-of-parachute\/\">5 Albums I Can\u2019t Live Without: Will Anderson<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/08\/deep-cut-friday-danube-incident-by-lalo-schifrin\/\">Deep Cut Friday: \u201cDanube Incident\u201d by Lalo Schifrin<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/08\/primus-los-angeles-guests\/\">Primus Parties At L.A.

It cuts between serene shots of him gliding through Nashville\u2019s 12 South neighborhood and Barry tearing down the track in a McLaren Artura GT4. The visual contrast is electric; Gerber\u2019s steady rhythm against Barry\u2019s no-holds-barred acceleration. As the founder of the all-women-led DART Racing Team, Barry adds a fierce, undeniable presence that mirrors the song\u2019s restless energy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"N-wVHeGSl5Y\" style=\"bottom: 0; height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; max-width:100%;\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Lyrically, <em>Limited Speed<\/em> doesn\u2019t hold back:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a limited speed that my love can go<br \/>You got me falling to the earth<br \/>Faster than the pull of gravity\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The track resonates with anyone who\u2019s felt that emotional disconnect, when hearts beat to different clocks. \u201cSometimes you\u2019re still figuring things out,\u201d Gerber says, \u201cbut they\u2019ve already crossed the finish line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The single follows his chart-topping <em>Three-Chord Town<\/em>, which hit #1 on Amazon Music and introduced the world to his deeply personal songwriting style. Gerber\u2019s own backstory reads like a novel \u2014 former CIA analyst, Harvard MBA, and even a plumber, before finding his way to music after a string of devastating personal losses in 2020. That search for healing became the spark for his upcoming concept album, <em>Three-Chord Town<\/em>, due later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Barry\u2019s role in the project goes beyond on-screen performance. Her DART Racing Team; piloting a McLaren Artura GT4 designed by TIME100 artist Mickalene Thomas; has been making waves in motorsports for its commitment to empowering women in high-performance racing. They\u2019ll close out the 2025 season with an all-female lineup competing in the 24H Series Middle East Trophy in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n<p>For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ripgerber.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gerber<\/a>, the connection between his music and Barry\u2019s racing career is obvious: \u201cBoth worlds live on adrenaline.
