Riah wants to find her happy ending in her new song “Dragon” » // MELODIC Magazine

Cape Verdean-American singer-songwriter, riahis known for her unique sound. While each song highlights one of her many talents, her vocal agility and lyrical storytelling shine, connecting her songs under a common theme. Her latest release, “Dragon,” focuses on the honeymoon phase of a relationship.

“Dragon” is a test of trust between two friends. Through lush harmonies and soft piano, Riah wonders if she’ll ever get close enough to be romantically involved with someone she admires. Lyrics like “How high can we fly on this dragon? / Can we fly on this dragon? / Tell me all your secrets and I’ll keep them in our stash / I’ll close the chapter and see you another day” show Riah’s tendency to fantasize about this relationship, yet she hopes for something more in real life.

Riah tells more about “Dragon” and comments:

“Dragon is the star song of my debut EP. It’s about the feeling of fantasy that arises in your head when you meet someone for the first time and get completely caught up in the idea of ​​loving them. It’s sweet and sensual, catchy and takes you into a dreamy, cloud-filled sound space.”
