Today, rising indie-pop singer/songwriter Ricky Montgomery shares the official video for his viral breakthrough hit “Line Without A Hook” – watch it HERE.
Last week, Ricky teamed up with mxmtoon on a new version of “Line Without A Hook,” marking his debut release on Warner Records. The original version of the string-soaked stunner– alongside fellow explosive single “Mr. Loverman” – catapulted Ricky’s career to new heights since taking off on TikTok last year, racking up more than 210M streams so far and 15M streams weekly and landing simultaneously on the Spotify 200 and Spotify Viral 50 charts with over 50 entries worldwide. Ironically, it came just when he was ready to call it quits on a music career entirely after years of nominal wins. The seemingly impossible—yet somehow inevitable— happened: suddenly people were finding solace in his songs. Now, among all the hip-hop hits, the Los Angeles native’s indie-pop has been a balm in the midst of a heavy time, comforting listeners with warm melodies and relatable lyrics. He balances melancholy with a touch of sweet humor and loads of humanity. With a newly-inked deal on Warner Records, Ricky’s using that momentum to prepare for the release of much more music to come in 2021 and beyond.
