Toronto alternative R&B artist RICHIE ALLYIAH returns with stunning new single “Love in the Dark”
It’s been a little over a year since we first stumbled onto RICHIE ALLYIAH’s spellbinding track “Siren”, and honestly, we’ve been obsessed ever since. The criminally underrated Canadian artist has kept us hooked with tracks like “Stay Wit Me”, “Feel” and the DREAMGIRL ERA EP, proving time and again she’s a voice we can’t ignore.
Today, she’s back with her new single, “Love in the Dark”, a moody track that’s already on heavy rotation. With producer 8een laying down a rich, atmospheric backdrop, RICHIE’s ethereal vocals weave seamlessly through the track, creating an intoxicating vibe you can’t help but sink into. There’s something magical about her voice—it lingers, leaving you wanting more.
“Love in the Dark” explores the messy world of situationships, capturing the confusion and frustration of being stuck in the undefined. It sucks, but in RICHIE’s hands, the chaos becomes strangely comforting. Oozing that signature late-night Toronto R&B sound, this track cements RICHIE ALLYIAH’s place as a promising R&B act who deserves every ounce of the spotlight—it’s time the world paid attention.
“The track is about a personal epiphany I had while navigating the emotional push and pull of a situationship—a true conflict between my mind, body, and reality. It’s raw, honest, and touches on the universal truth that while uncertainty in relationships can feel unbearable, it also forces you to reflect and figure out exactly what you want.” — RICHIE ALLYIAH.
