RIVER wants you to know that you’ll never be able to resist her… or her new single!

As a kid growing up in Sweden, RIVER was fascinated by Elvis Presley’s music and stage prescience. RIVER was also intrigued by her father, who was a journalist and a bassist in a popular band. After his unfortunate passing, RIVER decided to travel the world for a few years, busking and performing in jazz clubs in Mexico.

When RIVER returned to Sweden, it was go time! She adopted her stage name, based around her last name Sommarström – which can be translated to “Summer Stream” in English. Feeling more ready than ever to take over the world, she released her first single “One” in 2020. Now signed to EMI Sweden, RIVER is proud to whole-heartedly be doing her.

“RIVER is whoever the fuck she wants to be without apology,” she says. “She’s the one person who doesn’t give a damn what anybody thinks. I leave everything behind when I’m in the studio, on stage, writing songs, and creating visuals as River. She’s an extended part—but still me.”

With her new single “We’ll Be Together,” RIVER pays homage to her musical roots in a cheeky, yet clever way.

“I wanted to make a song that both tapped into the music of old-school soul that I grew up with mixed with the attitude of current hip-hop,” she spilled. “To get Lute on the track helped me reach that vision and took it all to another level.”
