With his latest EP ‘falling again’, SimplyRich delivers a poignant and introspective journey through the complexities of love. Written, recorded, mixed, and mastered by the artist himself, this project offers an unfiltered look at how love shapes, heals, and sometimes scars us. The five-track release weaves an intricate tapestry of emotions rooted in self-reflection and growth.
Originally envisioned as a collection of love songs, ‘falling again’ evolved into something far more profound. It dives into the dual nature of love, its power to elevate and its ability to hurt. The EP not only reflects on romantic relationships but also examines the self-love that informs how we connect with others. By exploring the challenges of a polyamorous lifestyle and the duality of falling both in and out of love, SimplyRich creates an honest and relatable narrative.
Tracks like ‘Remember’, featuring Qué Soul, exude warmth and nostalgia, capturing the bittersweet nature of love’s evolution over time. Meanwhile, ‘Iris’ Eyes’, a collaboration with V•V, offers a tender and haunting reflection, beautifully blending vocals with layered production. The inclusion of a partial cover of J. Cole’s ‘She’s Mine’ on ‘New Feelings (and old ones at the same time)’ nods to SimplyRich’s eclectic inspirations, paying homage to one of his musical influences while adding his own spin.
Drawing from a rich array of inspirations, including the harmonies of Take 6, the charisma of Usher, and the visionary production of Kanye West, SimplyRich infuses his tracks with a unique blend of genres. Additional influences oscillate between sultry R&B, soulful melodies, and introspective hip-hop.
Recorded entirely in his closet studio, ‘falling again’ is a testament to SimplyRich’s talent and commitment. The intimate setting imbues the EP with a raw, personal energy that makes each track feel like a direct conversation with the listener. This release also marks the conclusion of a trilogy of EPs exploring love across time, solidifying its significance as a defining chapter in his musical journey. ‘falling again’ is an exploration of vulnerability, acceptance, and hope for the love yet to come. This release is an emotional reckoning, and an unmissable gem for listeners searching for authenticity and depth in their music.
