Mari 2 years ago

Just three weeks after releasing a new single, announcing an upcoming EP and first headlining tour, Warner Records artist RINI drops new track + the official video. Releasing just before Halloween, the latest single “Haunt Me” is paired with an eerie visual tapping into the spooky season. The new moody track dives deeper into the rollercoaster of relationships, specifically the end of one. RINI seems to be reminiscing on the second single off upcoming EP UltraViolet with lines like ”You showed up in my dream last night and damn it felt so real, so I tried to close my eyes again but you just disappeared.” He is haunted by a relationship he is still yearning for.

The first single and video off the forthcoming project “Selfish” featuring GRAMMY award-winning artist BEAM has garnered over 350,000 views on Youtube. The highly anticipated EP UltraViolet is due for release this fall. The “Past the Naked Eye Tour” is a six-date tour that sold out in minutes and begins on November 30 at Purgatory at The Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia.

ABOUT RINI:

Since the inception of his musical career, RINI has been endowed with this unique responsibility to share his truth. The Melbourne-raised artist speaks directly to listeners while wearing his heart on his sleeve, relinquishing control of his emotions in a way that has a liberating effect on people. Being vulnerable is a heavy cross for RINI to bear but the end result has proven to be cathartic for his creativity, equipping the genre-defying R&B singer with something real to say: “I just want to take my time with songs,” he avows.

In 2021, RINI unveiled his 12-track debut album Constellations, an ambient collection of sounds that explore the nuances of love, which garnered praise from media outlets like Complex, Rated R&B, and UPROXX – the latter describing his project as, “an out-of-this-world touch to RINI’s music, offering a beautiful love story that any hopeless romantic would die for even though it seems far too good to be true.” Through a sultry falsetto and soul-stirring voice that’s universally embraced, the 24-year-old songbird revealed an emotional depth in his songwriting that doesn’t feel out of place. His creative process is fluid and impassioned, turning small, mundane details into romantic neo-soul fantasies.

Now, after emerging as a remarkable new talent poised to thrive in today’s R&B landscape, RINI is laser-focused on continuing to push the boundaries of modern music with his unique style, accumulating over 376M streams across platforms while averaging 2.2M monthly listeners on Spotify to date. Over the years, RINI became emboldened by the discovery that music can shape the world around him. From relocating out West to acclimating himself to the fast-paced lifestyle, this stage of his career has been about growth and self-discovery.
