Rikki Valentina is Halloween ready with new single âParanoidâ that captures the wide-spread panic and dread of second guessing yourself.
This spooky season, pop enchantress, Rikki Valentina, is giving us intangible chills and thrills that will leave everyone âParanoidâ. A raw and hauntingly honest track, âParanoidâ expresses the anxieties we all have felt
at one point in our lives when being around friends, family or strangers when in a mentally dark place. âParanoidâ follows Rikkiâs previous releases of luxurious pop records and itâs her first single release following her debut EP, âDaddyâs Girlâ, that was released in June of this year.
DUE FOR RELEASE OCTOBER 15th
The song initiates with stirring and ghastly whispers as if youâre overhearing the conversations around you in a swollen room. âCan they read my mind?â Paranoia settles in accompanying Rikkiâs effortlessly melodic yet haunting vocals. A spooky, yet settling feeling subsides as the wicked instrumentals build with the progression of the record.
Rikki pulls us in with a powerful, trembling bridge that stimulates incantation, encapsulating the feeling of mental isolation and fear. There is a hint of nostalgia in the musicality of the song that gives it a âTwilight Zoneâ-esq touch. Written with pure honesty, these evocative magic chants resonate with the thoughts keeping us up at night –Â
A mild case of psychosis?
Their smiles seem suspicious
At times I feel excluded
But Iâm not always like this
Maybe they mean very well
I donât know itâs hard to tell
Iâm just thinking still overthinking
Now Iâm sinking into it
Iâm paranoid Iâm so paranoid Iâm paranoid
ââParanoidâ is such a raw song that I wrote when reflecting on some anxieties that myself and many others have on a daily basis. With Halloween coming up, what better time to release a spooky single for us all to relate to!â
