LOTL Radio Welcomes Ryélle, Discuss her Two - Song EP , SOLO

SOLO, the dual-single project and short film, is a statement of independence and strength. The naming of this project coincides with all of the independent work I put into creating the songs and spearheading the video production. Writing, arranging and engineering from my living room studio, in my small Harlem apartment pushed me to create something very natural to me that emphasized how I felt at the time. As an indie artist its often difficult to find the help needed to create records so I spend time learning how to do it all myself. I work remotely to get production and mixing done which costs a fraction of the $$. SOLO is a statement of me being a true solo artist and confidently calming my independence with the music I create. It also has a counter meaning based on the songs included. As a single woman it’s okay to want love but if you don’t have it, its also okay to be single and go through periods of your life ‘solo.’ The first record Cinderella, is about a love that becomes disappointing because the other person isn’t in the same place that you are. You want to give that person some time to get their sh*t together but time is ticking literally. The song talks about ‘having a carriage waiting for me’ whether he decides to get his shit together or not. Love really wants him to get it together but in the end it doesn’t matter because you’re still a Queen. The theme of this song, which is obviously the Cinderella story, was a fun was to symbolize how you might miss your chance if you let the clock strike out. Now Playa is the total contrast of Cinderella.
