Rize Michael’s new single “things you wouldn’t say” is the perfect mix of contemporary R&B, alternative indie, and pop. It’s the fourth single from his upcoming album i can’t wait to know you, always, and it lands as fun, summery, and easy listening. The track feels vulnerable but catchy. Michael’s vocals are smooth, and Shaudie Man’s feature adds a playful contrast. With its bright guitar and beat, it’s a song you’ll want to put on repeat and instantly add to your playlist.
From Omaha, Nebraska, Michael’s music reflects his experiences of leaving home, navigating unfamiliar places, and finding growth along the way. That idea of a journey runs through everything he creates. At its heart, the single is a reflective track about a love that never reached its full potential:“I was thinking ’bout the times you wouldn’t ever call / I was thinking ’bout the things you wouldn’t say / I was hoping you would come back and we’d have it all.”
In light of his upcoming release i can’t wait to know you, always, Rize Michael steps into an exciting new chapter of his journey as an artist. His background makes his story real and special, taking influence from gospel roots and his love for poetry, and using inspiration from artists like Dominic Fike. All of this comes together in a way that’s uniquely his, shaping a sound that feels personal and exciting.
