It’s been a year or three since Riggi & Piros last landed on Amsterdam-, New York-and London-based record label Armada Music, but the New Jersey tastemakers are back and ready to hit another record home. A collaboration with LA-based DJ and producer VENIICE and rising RnB-Pop singer-songwriter RANI, ‘My Feelings’ brings about a tidal wave of emotion that’s sure to strike a chord in listeners worldwide.
As much as its lyrics reflect on the battle between indecision and longing, Riggi & Piros x VENIICE’s ‘My Feelings’ juggles softer passages and cautious optimism with taking the leap on a musical level. Adorned with velvet chords, beefed-up beats, and RANI’s center-stage vocals, this track is exactly what it should be: catchy, authentic, and tailored to the airwaves.
Riggi & Piros: “The title of this song, ’My Feelings’, digs into the core of who we are, one way or another. To say the words is to objectify the emotions, to render them tangible, concrete, living. It tells people to be mindful of the feelings of others, and to be kinder to those hurting until they’re strong enough to walk again.”
VENIICE: “I was in the studio listening to toplines and demos with Olaf Blackwood in Hollywood. We were looking to collaborate on something together, so he briefly played the audio to the vocal and I pretty much fell out of my chair; I instantly fell in love with the song and with RANI’s voice. The track is inspired by real life experiences and emotions; we wanted to capture the dance floor while also relaying a common message about love.”
RANI: “I met Olaf Blackwood around two years ago and he has been an amazing help and inspiration for me in music. Olaf was also the one that brought me in contact with VENIICE and Riggi & Piros, and when I heard the track on which they had worked their magic, I instantly loved it! What is so beautiful about the track is that it describes something I feel a lot of people can relate to. Everyone knows what it’s like to be in love and how someone can mean so much to you. That’s why love can hurt so much too. I feel so honored for being given the chance to work with these talented people, and I can’t wait for the whole world to hear our song!”
