Following the successful rollout of "City Lives," her debut track and video as a solo artist which continues in rotation at Abercrombie and Fitch and Forever 21 stores nationwide, fast emerging singer/songwriter Ryal is set to release the mystical pop flavored single "Lonely Love" March 30 in anticipation of her upcoming debut EP, due in Spring 2015.
With a grooving vibe heavily inspired by the Arctic Monkeys' 2013 album AM, "Lonely Love" features harmony vocals by White Prism's Johanna Cranitch, who has worked with The Cranberries and The Cardigans' Nina Persson. In the compelling video for "City Lives," the multi-talented performer takes us through a fascinating, delightfully quirky autobiographical journey of the "different lives" she's experienced during her years in New York City. With quick cut shots all in the backseat of an NYC taxicab, she's a skater girl, a punk rocker, a corporate Wall Street exec, a freewheeling Boho-chic hippie, a red carpet glamour girl. And then, ultimately, while asking in the infectious chorus "Who ya gonna be/Who ya gonna love," Ryal is back to herself - an artist unafraid to evolve creatively and committed to her expanding musical sensibilities. Taste making indie music website The Wild Honey Pie raved about the "endlessly entertaining" video, adding, "A debut like this one goes to show that not only is Ryal too damn cool, but that she could easily be pop royalty."Videos
