One of Drum & Bass' most recognisable voices returns with her third studio album, 'This Is Riyality', a deeply personal record that finds Riya making the album she's wanted to create on V Recordings for years.

Spanning thirteen tracks, 'This Is Riyality', is more than a collection of collaborations. Written chronologically across the past five to seven years, the album documents a period of profound change in Riya's life, from loss and heartbreak to new beginnings, friendships and rediscovering herself through music. As she explains, songwriting has always been her therapy, but she's always written with the hope that listeners will find a little of themselves in her songs.

To bring that vision to life, Riya has assembled an outstanding cast of collaborators, each chosen through a genuine creative connection. Bladerunner, Crystal Clear, Zero T, Minor Forms, L-Side, Motiv, Level 2, Sl8r, Melinki, Etherwood, The Vanguard Project, Quadrant & Iris and Auris all contribute their own distinct production styles, while guest appearances from DRS, Collette Warren, Alex Hill and Voice MC add further depth to an album rooted in songwriting as much as Drum & Bass.

For listeners who have followed Riya since her early work with Lenzman, Total Science and Hybrid Minds, 'This Is Riyality', feels like a natural progression. A double Drum&BassArena Award winner whose catalogue has spanned labels including CIA Records, Metalheadz, Toolroom, Shogun Audio and now V Recordings, she has established herself as one of the scene's most distinctive writers and vocalists.

Rather than chasing one particular sound, 'This Is Riyality', embraces the full spectrum of modern Drum & Bass. From soulful liquid moments to heavyweight rollers, every track is united by Riya's songwriting, with each collaboration serving the story the album sets out to tell.

As Riya says, 'I really hope people listen to it from start to finish. They'll hear how things have worked out over the past five to seven years. I write from real experiences, but I always hope people hear their own story in the songs too.'

'This Is Riyality', is Riya's most personal work to date, bringing together the people, experiences and music that have shaped the last chapter of her life.
