“Riah Lick Your Wounds, no, that’s not the name of some freaky new kink, but rather the name of a duo that propels thundering vocals into ageless soul, bouncing round, slamming bass on crisp beats! It’s pop, it’s soul, and it’s a bit RnB too! The duo formed by producer and pianist Lickya Wounds in Bristol, and singer and songwriter Riah Knight in Berlin, have just released their eponymous debut EP with the track, “Bodies Formed”.“ - Djolo Cultures (FR)

Riah Lick Your Wounds is the coming together of childhood friends, Bristol based producer and pianist Lickya Wounds (George Fellows) and Berlin based singer-songwriter Riah Knight . Last seen as shy teens left to chat awkwardly at family parties, Riah and George avoided the small talk by playing music. Their debut release is the amalgamation of those sessions spent playing together and has been produced over the last two years from their respective homes.

“Mesmerising...a dreamy journey through a sea of synthesisers and soul vocals, jazzy ambience and sub-bass... over Riah’s meditative, haunting vocal delivery... reminiscent of the early works of Little Dragon or Hiatus Kaiyote.” - Noctis Magazine 2021

“Prepare yourselves for a 5-minute, aural bliss, with soaring melody, intimate vocals and smooth atmosphere! This one will get better & better with repeated play…” Last Day Deaf on 'Indigo' 2021


“There is something inherently soothing about Riah Knight’s expressive vocals; the brand new self-titled EP by the Berlin-based singer together with producer, musician @lickyawounds from Bristol, captures a timeless essence, the end result is a body of work that conjures an otherworldly experience.” XSnoize Music 2021

“This one is for the ones who still go back to those jazzy hip hop records which never get old, no matter how much time has passed. A wonderful jazztronica tune, led by gorgeous vocals, “Bodies Formed"’s uplifting melodicism will certainly make you feel lighter and brighter."
We Are Stereo Fox 2021

“…the duo offers us a landscape full of jazzy atmospheres, electrifying synthesizers and a powerful soul voice that increases in intensity as the song progresses. A song relies on cyclical and electronic elements to incite the unconscious movement of the body and soul.” Planarteria 2021
