Today, atmospheric alt-pop artist Riah releases her new track “Growing Up,” the first single off her upcoming ‘Heartbreak Magic’ EP slated for a June 28th release.
“Growing Up” features shimmering windchimes and whimsical harmonies that capture Riah’s mesmerizing vocals.
Fresh off the heels of performing at Coachella with Shallou for their hit “Lie,” her new song draws from the vibey dream-pop catalog she is best known for while exploring solidarity in the face of adversity. Riah will join Shallou at The Shrine in Los Angeles on May 31st and will open for LANY in Anaheim at the House of Blues on June 25th and at the Shrine in Los Angeles on June 28th.
To record her solo EP, Riah traveled to Norman, OK to work with producer/engineer/composer Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, Ben Rector). ‘Heartbreak Magic’ is as honest as it is adventurous, mixing raw vulnerability with effortless swagger and bold, unpredictable arrangements. In the end, that’s what it’s all about for Riah, chasing those singular moments when the artist and the audience are at once transported to another world, a world that blurs the lines between joy and sadness and ecstasy and heartbreak and fantasy and reality. Riah’s living in a dream, and she wants to take you there with her.
