Composer-pianist Riopy returns with his fifth album “Be Love” – his first key music release since 2023’s “Thrive”. The 12 track album is comprised of 6 cinematic piano-instrumental tracks – a return to his roots of cinematic solo piano – and 6 more expansive tracks where Riopy experiments with his voice: from meditative whispers to raw and emotive lyricism. The composer-instrumentalist has utilised numerous ways to produce sound, just never his own voice. “I had this compulsion, this need to use my voice, because I think it’s one of the biggest fears I’ve had through my life. It felt right. I needed to do this. “Be Love” was recorded on Riopy’s dream instrument, the Steinway Spirio. It was mixed by GRAMMY-winning producer Oli Jacobs (Peter Gabriel, Lana Del Rey, Van Morrison) who has masterfully entwined Riopy’s evocative vocals with his delicate piano tracks.
