Ripsime drops new single “In Clouds”

Ripsime, a London-based singer-songwriter, producer, and visual artist, is back with a new single titled “In Clouds”, lifted from her upcoming EP titled Capsule I. This is her second release after the hit single “Tell Me The Lie” from last year and is mixed by Elizabeth Massey and mastered by Jonas Karlsson.

The song blends the sounds of soul, pop and R&B and features smooth synths, grooving beats, intricate guitars and glistening bass lines. Ripsime’s vocals add an enthralling element, drawing listeners into a dream-like whirlpool of sound.

The EP, which is set to drop soon, is all about self-discovery, and each song takes the listener on a journey to the underworld where they face their demons and emerge stronger. Ripsime’s music is a form of healing, and the songs on the EP feature themes of heartbreak wrapped up in a desire to dance.

Ripsime’s sound is a result of her exploration of various musical influences, including Kate Bush, Prince and The Cure. She began performing with Luke after meeting him at a friend’s studio in London’s Old Street in 2017 and the pair have since played at several venues in London, such as The Vortex Jazz Club in Hackney and the Library Club in the West End, even travelling to Frankfurt, to play at a friend’s rooftop party.

The upcoming EP was produced between Armenia and London with Ripsime recording the fundamental tracks in South London before moving to Armenia, where she stayed with family in Artsakh and finished recording the tracks. While recording, the corridor connecting Artsakh to Armenia was bombed and shut down, leaving the area blockaded for over 90 days. This experience inspired Ripsime to record the new songs in spaces and places that she may no longer be able to return to. She then returned to London to finalise the project, where she currently resides.

Overall, “In Clouds” is a fascinating and intriguing indie pop single from Ripsime that showcases her unique musical style and vocal prowess. The track’s dreamy, ethereal sound draws the listener into a hypnotic and mesmerising experience, with each note building upon the last. We can’t wait to hear more from Ripsime on her upcoming EP, which promises to take us on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
