Hailing from Brighton on the south coast of the UK, singer-songwriter and producer Ric T James makes captivating indie pop music under the ToyQueens moniker. Characterised by his impassioned and dynamic vocal delivery, grooving rhythms and piquant blends of instrumentation, with the ToyQueens project, the artist pioneers an indie emo style.
Taking influence from artists such as Bleachers, The Neighbourhood, Badflower and Bryan Adams, he spins a sound that’s entirely his own. Writing, performing and producing everything himself in his home studio, he’s made waves with his music, catching the attention of listeners around the world and earning extensive radio support in the UK.
Over the last two years, he’s been sharing his original creative vision since the release of his debut single “Miss That Mind” in 2020. Followed up by a string of engaging tracks, he brings us his fifth single of the year with the track titled “Obvious (Stay A While)”.
The follow up to his previous song “DROPDEADCANDY”, “Obvious (Stay A While)” was penned as a love story, infused with meaningful lyricism carried by powerful vocals floating above a sensational guitar-based groove. Serving to showcase his talents as a vocalist and songwriter as well as his production panache, on “Obvious (Stay A While)” ToyQueens drops an infectious alternative pop anthem from an artist on the rise in the UK and beyond.
