RYE is a pop marvel on her ode to overthinking "Nice"
RYE, the pop pseudonym of American singer/songwriter Mariah McManus, makes it three for three as she releases her brilliant single "Nice".
It all started last summer when McManus dropped debut single "Wildlife" and follow up "Nightmare" - both now have surpassed a million streams each on Spotify. RYE's sound fits somewhere within the Tove Lo, Broods, and Phoebe Ryan realm of atmospheric alternative pop.
Lyrically the song addresses that state we can sometimes find ourselves late at night - all of a sudden, just as you're about to fall asleep, you remember something or someone from your past and you're awake for hours.
Of the new track McManus explains: "I have pretty vivid dreams... I wrote 'Nice' about a dream that I had about someone I hadn’t seen in a while... and how sometimes that’s all the closure you need.”
"Nice" sees the singer/songwriter's sound evolve into a more spaced-out, wistful dimension. With subtle electronic glitches, the crushing drums of the chorus, and McManus' dreamy vocals, the song sounds like starry night.
