[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]

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.
