Watch our interview with RIIKI REID below!
New Zealand singer/songwriter RIIKI REID has treated us with the second taste of her forthcoming EP with The City. The singers mesmerising vocals float above a dynamic dance-fuelled soundscape, unfurling beneath hypnotic melodies. The song documents living life in the moment and nights out shared with those closest to you.
Earlier this year, REID unveiled her debut EP, NEWER OXYGEN, heralded by its genre-defying single, The Dream State. Whilst her debut existed within an indie-pop meets alt-rock realm, the singer intends to expand her sonic palette with CRASH & COLLIDE, introducing us more dance-infused soundscapes. “The dance world is something I’ve always been so a part of. I want this EP to showcase that world in every sense and I want it to bring joy”
The musical project of Raquel Abolins-Reid, RIIKI REID debuted in 2019. Since the release of High Heights, the singer has delivered a string of engaging tracks, including One Day, Share Your Luv, Good Times and In the Moment. Weaving together her Māori, Samoan and Scottish heritage throughout her tunes and the accompanying visual aesthetic of her music, REID's releases are an all encompassing creative output.
The City is out now!
