Australian singer-songwriter Holly Riva is back with a powerful new single, "Drowning." Following her acclaimed 2022 debut EP 'A Memory' and a Hollywood Independent Music Awards nomination for "Love Who You Wanna Love," Riva is unveiling a more personal and vulnerable side in this latest track.
Fresh from leaving a lasting impression with her live performance in Los Angeles, "Drowning" cements Riva's status as one of 2023's standout voices. This stunning song delves into the complexities of unhealthy relationships and the emotional toll they take, especially in today's social media-driven world. At just under four and a half minutes, "Drowning" weaves a narrative of dishonesty, miscommunication, and emotional turmoil.
The track is a conversation starter. Listeners find themselves rooting for Riva, hoping she can break free from toxicity. The connection between Riva and her audience is truly unique, and she shares, "It's an honor to share this piece of my soul with listeners, and I hope it adds to the soundtrack of their own journeys."
Collaborating with renowned producer Swavybeats and UK musician Kit Rice, "Drowning" offers a minimalistic yet emotionally charged experience. The track's elegant blend of piano, brass, and strings places Riva's mesmerizing vocals at the forefront, creating an immersive sonic journey.
