Joni Deutsch, WVPB's A Change of Tune and Mountain Stage Between his captivating voice and dynamic production, Riva is sure to keep us coming back for more. And when the chorus picks up, you begin to hear almost-comical bubble pops in the background, as if love's fragile, idyllic dream is sure to pop without notice, without resolve. Within seconds, you can hear Riva's soul tearing its way out through his voice as he recounts the story of that unrequited love, a guttural lament fueled by the sort of rejection and introspection we've all experienced. "Like Eye Did," the first song from Riva's debut EP, If You're Right, It's Alright, is an explosive track written in response to a relationship gone sour. He's got a raw, soulful voice that easily draws comparisons to Benjamin Clementine, George Ezra or Tom Waits. Born in Rome and schooled by monks in Dublin, Riva began his career in music relatively recently as a busker in Berlin. How?įil Bo Riva is not your typical 24-year-old singer-songwriter.
