Underground pop singer-songwriter and producer, RYL0 is celebrating Valentine’s Day with the release of her romantic new single, “OO! AH!”. The glitchy, anthemic experimental pop song is as certain to get stuck in your head as it is to tug on your heart strings. Produced by Corin Roddick, member of influential, Billboard Electronic #1-charting duo Purity Ring (who’s also collaborated with Katy Perry, SZA, Deftones, and more), “OO! AH!” combines a drill-infused beat with ethereal atmospherics, futuristic electronic production and infectious, touching vocal melodies and lyrics.
“OO! AH!” starts off with tender synth chords progressions and a floating whistle melody. Then the track brings in its drill beat, which incorporates sweeping hi-hats and thumping kick drums that underscore RYL0’s smooth vocals – a buttery verse that flows perfectly in the pockets of the instrumental. Over dreamy synth pads, she sings, “Think about you all the time, stuck in my mind/running circles, running laps, going platinum/song of the year, only for my ears, keep it to myself” – a sweet, poetic set of lyrics that matches the sentimental tone of the track.
“OO AH!” then drops into its majestic chorus, a spellbinding central section that blends other worldly vocal chops and deep bass before RYL0 comes in with the soaring title refrain, “Ooooh Ahhhhh!”
Lush, forward-thinking, and filled to the brim with catchy melodies, “OO! AH!” is a heavenly, soundscape-oriented pop track that once again showcases RYL0’s endless versatility. It also proves her ability to work with the industry’s elite creatives as she cements herself as the one of the most exciting up-and-coming artists in 2024.
Fans will be able to hear “OO! AH!” and other RYL0 tracks when the artist opens for Sophie Cates’ San Fransisco (2/17) and Los Angeles dates (2/22). RYL0 has also announced her debut headlining show, set to take place at Brooklyn’s vaunted Elsewhere venue on Friday, March 29 with support from HYRA, Cecilia Gault, DJ Re:Code, and Oppaslayer.
