Singer Rika, who is half-Indian and half-Serbian, says her latest single "Open" is an ode to "hopelessly romantic side" of her, adding that the sounds sets base for the music she will be coming out next year.
After "Hold on to me", Rika has released a powerful and emotive track "Open", which features TikTok star Holly H and "X-Factor" semifinalist Bella Penfold.
"'Open' is an ode to my hopelessly romantic side and is one of my more vulnerable pieces. It's the beginning of a more mature sonic I will be following through with all of 2020," Rika said.
Rika had a great year after taking to the stage for her debut performance at Radio 1 Big Weekend, "On my way" becoming BBC Radio 1's Tune of the Weekend following its release, plus a support slot on Zak Abel's European and UK tour. For 2020, she has worked on some new music, and plans to do lots of live shows.
