(Toronto-June 16, 2017) – Ria Mae returns with a brand new single “Bend,” a song about bending – but not breaking – in a relationship.  “Bend,” showcases Ria’s distinct ability to seamlessly blend raw and honest lyrics into infectious pop hooks.

 

“This song is about struggling to leave a relationship that has extreme positives and extreme negatives,” says Ria.  “It’s about questioning if you’re doing enough, but ultimately having a hard line as to how far you can bend… ”

 

The indie-pop star saw rapid success with her critically acclaimed last album, Ria Mae. Her breakthrough single, “Clothes Off” quickly accelerated to the top of the charts, reaching certified Platinum status in Canada and gaining over 2.4 million views on VEVO. The single instantly gained the praise of the press and garnered multiple award nominations including ‘Single of the Year’ at the 2016 JUNO Awards and ‘Best New Canadian Artist’ at the iHeart Radio MMVAs.
