Sea of Fire is just one of the stellar tracks from Iva Rii’s latest EP #GoGoGirl which has well and truly redefined the Indie Electro Pop genre. There has been a swarm of up and coming artists this year with their breathy, synthy approach to their sound, yet Iva Rii has taken the sound even further with some of the strongest lyrics I’ve heard from an emerging artist this year. The lyrics are simultaneously empowering and grounding – in the chorus especially they run as poignantly as spoken word poetry. The amplified electric beat comes alive through the harsh snares and kicks of the 808’s which almost allows Sea of Fire to veer into the EDM arena.
You can check out Iva Rii’s latest single along with the rest of her album #GoGoGirl by heading across to Spotify now. But I’m sure it won’t be long before her radio-ready sound is hitting you through the radio waves.
