The track highlights the vast potential of the young artist

At just 17-years-old, Ridi has crafted a track in ‘Top Guy’ that completely and utterly belies her young age in a multitude of ways.

The track, written by the young artist, feels stacked full of bombast and occasion, as it seems to grow only more powerful and rousing as it progresses. The young artist effortlessly flits between English and French intermittently as the song progresses and leads to a chorus that feels as memorable and climatic as anything that you are likely to hear soon. ‘Top Guy’ is a slightly bewildering track that showcases both the delicate and empowering sides of the young artist’s nuanced sound, and establishes her as a real artist to look out for.

“The song talks about how even when someone is entirely innocent there can always be that one person – the ‘top guy’ who has the power to essentially destroy everything about you.” Ridi says of the track. “How someone can break you to the point that you don’t even recognise yourself. I hope my music truly helps people travel the same journey of self-realisation I went through.”
