R.Y.F. releases ‘Lies,’ the second single from her upcoming album ‘Deep Dark Blue,’ which is set to be released on April 5th by Bronson Recordings in LP, CD, and digital formats.

The music video for the single, directed by Silvia Maggi and featuring R.Y.F., Alos, and Secret Maddalena, has also been unveiled. Now available on all digital platforms as of February 23, 2024, the boldly provocative single ‘Lies’ tackles the theme of suffering with a hint of positivity, blending electroclash elements to create an irresistible tune that embraces dance-punk rhythms, vibrant pop melodies, and cheeky lyrics (“I wanna have my clit like Pinocchio’s nose / And lie and fuck it all night long”). The track also features Matteo Vallicelli (The Soft Moon, Death Index) on synthesizers.

Speaking on the single, R.Y.F. explains : “‘Lies’ is my sexy key to reacting to the suffering that was devastating me. At the beginning of the song, there is a blatant textual homage to Peaches, whom I obviously adore. The fun-filled attitude also infected the music itself, as I used a sample of a vocal recording of one of my orgasms to create a section of the beat.”

The single is accompanied by a music video by Silvia Maggi, an Italian director and film-maker active in Berlin who has become known for her stories that capture and shine a light on queer people, underground communities and body positivity. About the video, R.Y.F. comments, “I contacted Silvia Maggi because I thought she might have the right angle for a video that I envisioned as bold. I assume the video will stir some spirits but it was essential to include some body positivity and sex positivity since the lyrics, which superficially can only be considered playful, are about how suffering can overwhelm you and put you in the position of having to defeat it.”
