Australian artist Holly Riva is the kind of talent that prompts Bill Kimber – former head of A&R RCA UK – to state she’s “the most talented female artist I’d seen since Annie Lennox walked through my door”
Holly can certainly live up to such a high and heavy expectation. Her audience sure thinks so, at least.
Since her debut in the scene with her EP titled ‘Memory’, Holly seems to be on an upward trajectory. Especially after scoring a nomination for Best Song at the Hollywood Independent Music Awards with her track ‘Love Who You Wanna Love.”
Her latest artistic endeavor is called ‘Drowning’ and just like the title suggests the song is a whirlwind of emotions.
“An outpouring of emotion, a reflection of life’s complexities”. Holly states herself
The setting is today’s social media driven world where the protagonist digs into the toxicity of unhealthy relationships exploring her growing awareness of the psychological traumas experienced by young people.
However, Holly embraces this somewhat painful process unapologetically: “it’s an honour to share this piece of my soul with listeners, and I hope it adds to the soundtrack of their own journeys”.
Produced by Swavybeats, known for his work with Kanye West, and the captivating UK tunesmith, Kit Rice, this track is specifically designed to put Holly’s vocals right in the front to lead the way to a sleek production and a wide array of beautiful sonic avenues leaving the listener in complete awe at the solid fragility it embodies.
Holly is pushing creative boundaries and exploring new territories and we are here to take a ride with her.
