Arewa, beautiful, caring, determined, ambitious, and flawed. Like any individual she is uniquely her. She goes about her days, gaining new experiences that propel her into becoming such a divine being. A modern day griot, she is. Using her experiences to share stories through art, she evokes emotion of the average being, gracing them with her authenticity. Her stories come from a place of confusion, pain, joy, enlightenment, love, peace; a place she calls home. Accepting all that she is, she has laid the standard for being one of the most motivational and inspiring being to share her vulnerable art to the world. Born in Brooklyn, New York, of Nigerian descent, a true Yoruba goddess lives within her.

Rich Girl by Arewa is a beautiful, soulful and catchy afrobeat song, perfectly produced that will send you on a journey with smooth vocal melodies and catchy electronic beats in the background.

Rich Girl is a successful fusion of afrobeat and soul music, with crisp brass and a clever rhythmic conversation between the chattering drum beats. The great singing of Arewa on this track is definitely a mood changer and will get you in a dancing trance immediately when you turn it on.

Familial and unrefined, Arewa encompasses the fundamental sounds of African heritage in their music. Finding one’s place within a diaspora in connection to the Motherland can be an integral part of exploring afro-beats and world music in hip-hop. This is certainly true of Rich Girl. You’ll be melodically transmuted to a place of music, culture, and afro-bliss.

Arewa combines delicacy with weight in an addictive and unique form for the aptly titled “Rich Girl” beautifully merging the purity and melodic embrace with a swiftly invigorating, summertime reggae atmosphere and a captivating dance beat.

Rich Girl skillfully straddles the line between unconstrained artistic expression and the mainstream building blocks that are known to create waves, fusing engaging music vibes with a contemporary finish that is as crisp and clear as the best of them. There are as many inventive sound-play moments as there are some that feel genuinely lost in the moment — appearing as if it were a live, in-the-moment performance.

“Rich Girl” flows through with a charming realness, beginning with a swiftly uplifting reggae bounce and ending with a vocal and synth gentleness. It is an unmistakable and remarkable track for its natural qualities and the true sense of color and hopefulness it radiates, rather than an in-your-face or humorous effort at a catchy smash.

#SongReview Tina Rix’s “No Looking Back” is in the soulful playlist. Listen Now!

NEW MUSIC ALERT! We’ve got music from Tina Rix! Today we’re featuring No Looking Back

Tina’s Full-Length Album, “No Looking Back” is scheduled for release on 6/15/2022. Music reviewers are calling it a “No Skipping of Tracks Album’ that takes you on an intimate healing, encouraging, and empowering world of Tina Rix. We are so glad she didn’t turn her back on music because she is unique and appreciated. Blending the multiple sounds of the diaspora, in addition to fusing modern R&B, Neo Soul, Gospel, and Pop, the Native Texan creates a genre that is uniquely her own. A strong proponent of creating music with a meaningful message, the artist aims to heal listeners with every track. In addition to her music, the Nigerian-American artist Tina Rix is a licensed therapist, filmmaker, and mental health advocate.

Smooth tone, gentle vibrato, attractive octave range, and a consistent flowy soulful RnB instrumental makes Tina Rix’s “No Looking Back,” a Contemporary / RnB masterpiece that also offers a diverse production to keep things soulful, vulnerable, and emotional.

“No Looking Back ” is something different coming from Tina Rix’s corner, fusing together a catchy soundscape with theatrical story-telling origins and a blissfully soulful RnB vocal – the result is something that feels like rhyme and ultimately paves the way for a more creative, sensitive, and immersive RnB realm of tomorrow.

The effect of “No Looking Back ” is to draw the listener’s attention to the soft and soulful rhythm and…of course, Tina Rix’s vocals in the background. Or, more precisely, the intimacy of the lyrics — there’s a wide range of them on display.

Tina Rix creates an arrangement with a lot of ebbs and flows, much like the action of waves lapping on a beach, which is quite beautiful, thanks to the extensive use of reverb and delay. As a result, there is a sense of sumptuous richness throughout.

As a result of the overall mood shift of No Looking Back, the audience’s spirits are lifted as a result. It is only a brief moment, but the swagger and empowerment of the lyrical passages are swiftly restored, and we begin to connect with the bold and beautiful undertones that run throughout this song.

“No Looking Back ” sheds new light on the artist, striking a chord with spectators because of its transparency, fragility, purity, and the powerful artistic thread that runs through the work. Perfect for a night out in the city and my personal favorite from the Tina Rix line.
