Rina B releases an intoxicatingly catchy debut EP, "Me 2 U"
Review by Austin Sher
Closing out this past year with an impressive debut EP, Rina B is making waves with her new record, Me 2 U. We’re loving it! Read along with us as we share our thoughts on the track, in addition to a background on the artist herself.
Currently 22 years old, Salvadorean & DMV native Rina B has been singing, writing and performing all her life. Pulling directly influence from one of her idols, Shakira, it sparked the need in her life to start creating music for herself. From posting YouTube covers at 14, to focusing on her entrepreneurial goals in music at 21, Rina B does it all.
Adding on to her release for Me 2 U, Rina has also been quite busy this past year. Having the opportunity to release a few singles, features, an EP & has even create her own platform @theelevatedexp (a brand that empowers local business owners, creatives & artists to come together in creativity as they elevate one another). To no surprise either, she’s got more set to release in 2021, but we’ll keep the focus on this stellar EP for now.
On Me 2 U, Rina B lets loose and shows not only can she have a good time while creating the music, but it also gives off the direct feeling that all listeners need to get up themselves and start dancing. It was truly difficult not to get up and groove, or even bob your head to the beat from the get go on this EP. The opening track specifically, “Conquistar” was the perfect introduction into the artist’s music and it really only got better as the record progressed.
Coming in at 6 total tracks, spanning 16 minutes in run time, this is the perfect listen for nearly any activity in your life. It’s short enough to where you could easily listen to it front to back multiple times without getting old, but also features so many unique ideas within the production to where it doesn’t get stale in the slightest.
There’s also no way we could get through this review without mentioning Rina’s many talents, especially on the vocals front. The emotion she shares line to line and lyric to lyric are immense. Not only is the music intoxicating to listen to, but the stories she tells are worth taking the time and listening closely. As fantastic as the atmosphere is that she’s created, the true gems are the themes being presented and sung about.
I hope we’ve made it clear by this point, but we are highly recommending and suggesting you take the time out of your day to check this one out, you will not regret it in the slightest. It’s fun, carefree, and 100% a jam to listen to. So what are you waiting for? Get listening!
