I Like When You’re Suspicious: Riley Rex is sensationally seductive on doll-filled debut single ‘Demon’

Posted on 7 August 2021

Taken off her upcoming project tentatively titled ‘Nightmare Lullabies’, newcomer Riley Rex impresses highly on the blood-soaked debut track all about how a powerfully possessed woman can take hold of men so easily through her heart-piercing eyes on ‘Demon‘.

Riley Rex is an emerging indie dance-pop singer-songwriter, artist, and future fashion icon born in San Diego, who is currently living in the music mecca of Los Angeles in California. She makes that striking music which is all about mental health, empowerment, sexuality and love in this rather odd world.

”Fans of Dua Lipa, Ava Max, and Billie Eilish will enjoy her distinctive combination of stellar dance-hall melodies, honest and emotive lyricism, and electrifying visuals.” ~ Riley Rex

Her world class vocal ability is such a pleasure to witness and is superbly backed up by a busty beat which is all the temptation you need. She somehow has the rare gift of making you automatically turn up the volume and starting the video over again and again, so you can truly hear and properly see, each moment perfectly.

‘Demon‘ from the wildly talented Los Angeles, California dance-pop solo musician Riley Rex, shows us a knife-sized amount of a fantastic new artist who skillfully leaves your fragile heart beating rather quickly. This is a fantastic music video which is full of bloody baths, creepy dolls, stunning vocals, and unsuspecting men, who should probably stop reading the newspaper. She is a tremendous talent who clearly has the hunger to innovate beyond what was thought possible before – and be totally herself – no matter what.

This is one of the catchiest songs you will hear all year, and will give you a jolt in your curious consciousness, when you least expect it.

After years of therapy and professional help, he finally put all he had into recording his debut album Late Start at the not-so-young age of 38.” ~ Preston Garland
