“Sipping Spanish wine, love drunk, under a Southern California sunset.” This is how soulful alt-pop/R&B trio AHMORE describes their debut single “Rioja (Next To You)” out May 14. Characterized by its Spanish influences, R&B beat, and sultry multitracked vocals, this is the first new music that will lead to an EP release this summer. Los Angeles’ AHMORE—comprised of Venus, Patrick Joseph, and Kyu Malik, a combination of singers, instrumentalists, and producers—came together in 2018 after years of releasing solo projects to create a collective that draws on each individual’s strengths. With a penchant for writing infectious music and relatable narratives, the group presents a fresh new perspective with a distinctive blend of styles including contemporary R&B and baroque pop.
They are driven by a desire to “connect to a plethora of different listeners from all walks of life, by making the music and telling the stories that we would want to hear.”
