Rikki's 'Free Love': A Musical Journey of Rediscovery

In the world of indie-retro pop, Rikki, a London-based artist, has been captivating audiences with his unique sound and introspective lyrics. His debut EP, 'The Sun Of A Beat,' is a testament to his musical prowess, with the track 'Free Love' standing out as a gem within this collection. Formerly known for his electro-pop band Kokyu, Rikki's solo career took off with the release of his debut album in April 2023.

The song's creation showcases Rikki's multi-faceted talent as he wrote, arranged, and produced it in London, with additional contributions in Thessaloniki and Paris.
