Rich Brian announces his forthcoming album WHERE IS MY HEAD? due May 23rd. The announcement is paired with the arrival of his new single “Little Ray Of Light,” the first official offering from the project, alongside a new music video. His first official release since his 2022 EP Brightside, “Little Ray Of Light” marks a notable sonic shift from the catalog on which Rich Brian has built his career. The self-produced song is built around analog instrumentation and sees him primarily embracing his singing voice in a way that past releases have not. The song’s accompanying music video is as raw and diaristic as the song itself with Brian conducting a string section, a nod to his involvement in the music video’s creative direction with director Jared Hogan.

In almost a decade of following the scene and discovering new bands, Breē is probably one of the most resounding yet underrated names in the last couple of years, and it's solely because of two things: (1) their experimental approach through their heavy-duty drum-dominated plus three-guitar work (four, if you count the bass guitar) and ambient textures on the background that make up for their immersive live experience; and (2) their persistence on marketing their craft which can reach to a somewhat unbelievably relentless degree.
