Rising artist Riah is ready to share a new song, this time in the form of "Growing Up."

The atmospheric new track is premiering today on Variance and it follows her recent appearance at Coachella, joining Shallou to perform their collaboration "Lie."

Riah grew up playing her father's instruments and she was always encouraged to explore creative expression. Influenced by her "queen" Björk, the singer found herself constantly coming back to her love for writing songs. 

Now, she's found herself in the studio, recording and writing with longtime collaborator Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, Ben Rector), working on what will eventually make up her forthcoming debut EP Heartbreak Magic, out June 28.

Hear "Growing Up" below.

Riah's live dates:
May 31 — The Shrine — Los Angeles, CA*
June 25 — House of Blues — Anaheim, CA^
June 28 — The Shrine — Los Angeles, CA^
