Rhye biography

A mosaic of emotive piano keys, physical percussion, buzzing analog synths, and expansive vocals, RHYE find humanity in musicality. Shrouded in mystery, the group-first surfaced setting the Internet abuzz with ambiguous imagery, sophisticatedly sensual music videos, and that distinctive falsetto.

Following the runaway online success of two initial singles, the critically acclaimed debut album Woman(Loma Vista Recordings) was released in 2013 and lauded by critics from Pitchfork(“Best New Album”)to The Guardian to New York Times.

Gifted songwriting, breathtaking vocals, and deft instrumental arrangements combine to create an intoxicating blend of R&B influenced, deeply emotive music making the album a staple for provoking intimate moments.

Since the release of Woman, RHYEhas relentlessly toured to establish a devoted global fanbase and enrapture crowds in theaters and at festivals worldwide including riveting sets at Coachella and Pitchfork Paris amongst many others.

Originally a duo conceived in the studio, RHYEhas transformed into a collective led by vocalist and producer Milosh and elevated by a cast of accomplished multi-instrumentalists. As the band began writing new material, the expansive live show indelibly impacted the music for their second full-length albumBlood, released February 2nd, 2018, resulting in a warmer, more organic sound. It’s a new beginning and anew musical experience. It’s RHYE.

“Reserved understated and brilliant soul” -NPR

"Busy but not cluttered, sexy but not serious .” -Pitchfork

“RHYEboasts a sound that lingers long in the memory” -Mojo

“Airy dream pop... sensuous R&B and singer-songwriter candor.” -Rolling Stone

Live reviews

The music that duo Rhye make can only described as sultry and seductive, so its no wonder that Victoria’s Secret used “Open” for their commercial. And that’s only their studio version of their songs. Their live performances take it to another level, using full instrumentation along with their electronic tracks to tantalize your ears. As the violin starts to play for “Open” the lights were off, and the only light comes from candles. The lights remained off and the darkness really added to the experience, allowing you to concentrate on the music.Then as Mike Milosh’s vocals start, his voice throws you into a trance. It then only gets better as they start to add more to each of the songs with each instrumentalist taking a solo. Robin Hannibal playing riffs on his keyboard, a violin solo paired with a funky bass line that transitions like water into the drummer’s solo, and they even had a trombone doing a beautiful run that transitioned the end of “Last Dance.” These additions, not present in the studio version of the song, give you a more jazzy feel and elongates each song experience to last five or more minutes, which the crowd ate up.
Then as the song starts to transition into the next song, Mike introduces everyone, and in between each song he addresses how much he really enjoys each instrumentalist as much as they love playing. Seeing Rhye is not just an ordinary show, it’s the epitome of an experience for your senses.
