RIIKI Has Revealed a Track So Groovy, We Have to Share it With You Right TF Now
We are stoked to be introducing you to another feminine force in pop today… RIIKI is a 20-year-old singer, songwriter and producer from Wellington in New Zealand, and she has absolutely blown us away with her new single “Share Your Luv”.
She already had us taking notice with her second single “High Heights” last year, which garnering praise from music media both here and in NZ, as well as snagging her opening slots for the likes of Keith and Otium. Co-produced by Simon Gooding (P!nk, Dua Lipa and Migos), “High Heights” also made an appearance on the Hot 20 NZ Singles Charts for a number of weeks, as well as making it onto Apple Music’s A-list Pop and New Music Daily playlists, and featuring on Spotify’s Pop Edge and New Music Friday playlists in NZ/AU, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Norway.
Now she’s returned with bonafide banger “Share Your Luv”, a groove-laden track that showcases RIIKI’s gorgeous vocal tone, effortless talent for creating pop hooks.
Delving into the feeling of being on the receiving end of a drastic and unexpected change of heart, the track is a heartfelt exploration of heartache and longing, while also being a celebration of the realisation that you have the strength to get by on your own.
“I’m usually the friend helping people I know around me in these situations,” said RIIKI. “But it just feels so damn real when you’re in it and you truly experience that really sad feeling you never saw coming. Although, it is so important that if you fall into that situation you remind yourself ‘you were never the problem or held responsible, they were’. Don’t blame yourself, instead have a lil boogie, because this only made you way stronger.”
We are absolutely loving this track, and can’t wait to see what RIIKI does next.
