RHYE RELEASEs NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR PHOENIX

ON TOUR NOW WITH STOPS AT  WINNIPEG FOLK FESTIVAL, HILLSIDE, MILE EX END MUSIQUE AND WESTWARD FESTIVAL 

Toronto, ON — June 6, 2018 — Today, RHYE releases a new music video for track, Phoenix, the second single off their latest, critically-acclaimed album, BLOOD. Directed and produced by RHYE frontman, Mike Milosh, and Geneviève Medow Jenkins, the stunning fashion-forward film tells a powerful narrative with symbolic visuals centered around change and rebirth. Watch the video here.

“Phoenix’is a song about rebirth,” says Milosh. “The video for Phoenix is a representation of the storms that are needed to instigate that change, renouncing the mundane. Enough change best leads to communion with the natural world and the natural self. Change is a strong woman who comes into your life and shows you your true self. Hence, change is Phoenix.”

The Phoenix video tells a powerful story through shattering the everyday, materialistic lifestyle and transforming into one’s true self, mirroring Milosh’s private and professional life, brought on by a powerful symbol of a female character that enters like a storm alongside thoughtful allusions.

The video also features a cast of beautiful, impeccably-dressed female characters in fashion designs by OTT, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Thomas Wylde, Alexis Bittar, Armani, Yvonne Kone, Christian Siriano, Versace (vintage), Ann Demeulemeester, Pamela Love, Alice McCall and Agent Provocateur, styled by and starring model Anna Schilling.

RHYE released their widely-acclaimed sophomore album BLOOD on February 2, 2018 and is available here via Last Gang Records. Limited edition vinyl bundles are available exclusively via the RHYE Shop.

About Rhye:
A mosaic of emotive piano keys, physical percussion, buzzing analog synths, and expansive vocals, Rhye find humanity in musicality. Driven by this approach, the group quietly transformed into a phenomenon with the arrival of their 2013 debut, Woman. The record garnered acclaim from Rolling Stone, Spin, and Pitchfork who dubbed it Best New Album. Open would concurrently accumulate over 44.5 million Spotify streams, while The Fall surpassed 24.7 million. Along the way, they sold out theatres around the globe between standout festival sets at Coachella, Pitchfork, and a highlight concert in Denmark accompanied by a 49-piece all-girls choir. As the band began writing in 2016, this expansive live show indelibly impacted their second full-length album in 2017. The first single, Please, siphons a gorgeous vocal plea through a kaleidoscope of sparse percussion and piano that’s simultaneously stirring, stark, and sensual. It’s a new musical experience. It’s Rhye.
