If there’s one artist I’m obsessed with at the moment, it’s the magical voice and lyrical genius of Rimon.

A breath of fresh air, RIMON’s musical versatility and delicate but wholesome vocals is the perfect balance between spiritual and sensual neo-soul.

Born in Eritrea, Ethiopia and raised in Amsterdam, RIMON has been named one of the most intriguing singers of her generation and she’s only just getting started.

As a young child, RIMON always had a passion for music, when she was 10 years old, she created her first song, ‘Friends’ which she recorded and submitted to Junior Eurovision.

First time listeners should be prepared to hear a bit of everything, particularly a blend of dancehall, neo-soul and hip hop elements.

When it comes to following your dreams and passions, RIMON’s best advice is to just go for it.

“Regardless of what people think, you’ve got to live your life. Also, people forget everything! If you do something really awkward, don’t stress, people forget. In our minds, we think about things so much and overthink, but we have to learn to let go and live.”

Here are just three RIMON tunes you need to add to your playlist.

‘Build Me A House’ featuring Tiggs Da Author

If you need an escape RIMON’s ‘Build Me A House’ is your answer.

Collaborating with renowned L.A. based producer Mike Hector, who’s worked with the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Doja Cat, ‘Build Me a House’ shows elements of clarity amongst chaos.

RIMON’S echoing vocals melt into your ears as she confronts the unstable parts of her upbringing, recreating chaos as a woman who feels peace in discomfort. However, the tune also echoes the importance of not dwelling on vices and finding a love that’s a bit less unrequited.

‘Out Of My Way’

Produced by Samuel Kareem, marking the third track from RIMON’s sophomore EP, ‘I Shine U Shine’, this playful tune channels those early 2000s vibes. In this tune, RIMON explores a ‘hard to get’ situation, while delving into the various complexities and layers of love.

‘What They Called Me’

A mix of fiction and reality, this short film follows RIMON on a journey of self-discover.

Far from anything ‘perfect’, the aesthetically pleasing visuals show the struggles of coming to terms with self-acceptance from RIMON’s perspective.
