Riah’s debut EP ‘Heartbreak Magic’ was a breakout moment for this “phenomenon” (Atwood Magazine). It’s as honest as it is adventurous, mixing raw vulnerability with effortless swagger and bold, unpredictable arrangements. The title track showcases Riah’s sheer magnetism steeped in sumptuous electronic beats. "Growing Up" is an entrancing tune with shimmering wind chimes and whimsical harmonies and "Nice" captures her mesmerizing vocals in a sweetly atmospheric and bubbly song.

MORE ON RIAH:

Influenced by her "queen" Bjork, Riah grew up playing her father's instruments and was encouraged to explore creative expression by her family. Despite other avenues, she found that it "always came back to loving to write songs and loving to sing."

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.

Praised by The Line of Best Fit as landing "somewhere between the Tove Lo, Broods, and Phoebe Ryan realm of atmospheric alternative pop," Riah is a force to be reckoned with, the kind of mesmerizing vocalist whose sheer magnetism is matched only by her remarkable versatility. She writes with piercing clarity and commands the stage as if she were born for the spotlight. The "dream pop crooner" (Ones To Watch) has spent time cultivating her sound, becoming a powerful live performer and has racked up nearly 50 millions streams on Spotify.
