Periphery EP is OUT!
Today is the day! 🥳 After a lifetime of singing and songwriting, today I released my very first body of work with my very first Proper Band. Periphery is a sonic scrapbook of my/our four-year exploration of who exactly we want to be as artists. It’s got some indie rock, some jazzy pop, even some disco funk. “But Rita! That’s all the genres!” So true, bestie. Like I said, it’s an exploration! A collection, if you will. Someday we will write on the scale of albums, but that’s not today. And if you didn’t sing those last four words in your head as you read them, you must not have listened to the EP yet! 🤪
You can remedy that by clicking here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/timesnewrita/periphery
This link will likely direct you to your streaming service of choice, but if the one you use isn’t listed there, you can probably just search for us the old fashioned way. Or let me know and I can try to add it for you. Personally, I just made the switch from Spotify to Qobuz and I’m loving it – the same catalog with better music quality, literally HUNDREDS of times better pay-per-stream rates, and no connections to AI military drone manufacturing. 👌 Anywayyyyy roll credits!
