Rhye | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW

00:30 - "Open"
10:20 - "Last Dance"
15:50 - "Verse"
19:50 - "The Fall"
This is some of the sexiest music I've heard in years, with seductive sounds that are subtle and fragrant. Rhye is the music of Danish songwriter-producer Robin Hannibal and Toronto-born Mike Milosh, a man with an androgynous and mysterious voice. In fact, when the band's music first surfaced - with no press photos or posted lineup - many thought a woman was singing these songs.
We recorded a portion of Rhye's sold-out, candlelit show at (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York City on April 17, 2013. The duo expanded to a sextet for the occasion, including strings, horns, keys, bass and live drums. Still known for being visually enigmatic in the media, Rhye requested that its members be filmed only in silhouette, with the lights dimmed low and shadows dancing to an evening of heartfelt love songs.

It’s 2023, let’s work to get the algorithm to randomly show this video in peoples feeds, asap. Sending love to you all.

[@MacEoin]

For anyone familiar with their one and only album, Woman, this live version with extended instrumentation and long instrumentals is an eye-opener (or [erhaps, better, ear-opener). They are becoming my favourite band. I only wish they would issue another album.

[@TheLinguaChannel]

i believe they are working on a new album.. i cant wait!

[@Croat1a06]

February 2nd, 2018

[@toffzzzz]

New one came out today :)

[@WGBHMusic]

"Rhye requested that its members be filmed only in silhouette"... A videographers dream :) Nice job shooting around that. The music speaks for itself. Great vid.

[@SageGravy]

@@johngomes2824 That is the video description.

[@Lorenzconnok]

How many babies were made this night... sweet jesus, this has soul.

[@temple13]

I impregnated myself...and I'm male.

[@RationalProductions]

His voice reminds me of the voice of Sade...

[@HerrPorinski]

+RationalProductions ... i digged rhye on spotify. i listened to the whole album and thought... wow, who is that girl that can sing like Sade... hahahaha. if you dont know the gender you seriously wont ever believe a man can do that.

[@JFERMIN1987]

It was my first thought too!

[@oguzhanalak5441]

Who is here 2021? If u remember this song U re not old U re high quality vintage 👏👏🙏🙏❤

[@valeriamartin5667]

I'm not that old but this is beautiful😍 hahahah

[@josecardoso2087]

this is the kind of music that we can refuse our bad feelings and replace them by the good ones.

[@Einaroux]

Woman by Rhye is listed in my top albums 2013. LOve them tons!!!

[@boredhousewifelife]

If you like this you will love Mike's older stuff too. Look up "You make me feel" by Milosh. You're welcome

[@kato0291]

They should record their next album with a live band!

[@DeepFriedCertified]

Kristian Georgiev Better yet release a live album. I would pay good money for that on vinyl.

[@housedubs1]

Saw them last night in Orlando--blew us all away! Claire (sp) is amazing on the trombone; Milosh's sultry voice fits in any genre of music. Wish I could catch the Chicago show next month!

[@nyannlee3149]

Open: I'm a fool for that shake in your thighs I'm a fool for that sound in your sighs I'm a fool for your belly I'm a fool for you love I wanna make this plain Oh, I know you're faded Mm, but stay, don't close your eyes I wanna make this plain Oh, I know you're faded Mm, but stay, don't close your eyes Caught in this pool held in your eyes Caught like a fool without a line We're in a natural spring With this gentle sting between us I wanna make this plain Oh, I know you're faded Mm, but stay, don't close your eyes I wanna make this plain Oh, I know you're faded Mm, but stay, don't close your eyes Ooh, stay open Ooh, stay open Stay open Stay open I wanna make this plain Oh, I know you're faded Mm, but stay, don't close your eyes I wanna make this plain Oh, I know you're faded Mm, but stay, don't close your eyes Stay open Stay open Stay open Mm, stay open

[@lcarthel]

That drummer is fantastic

[@CDCraddock]

+Lando Cartel His snare sounds amazing

[@MacEoin]

The greatest percussionist in the world is the German-Iranian Reza Mortazavi. Look for his albums and videos (some are on KZbin).

[@lcarthel]

Denis MacEoin awesome thanks

[@mgrieser]

I think it's Jake Jamieson @jamiesonjake

[@francoalexander4652]

It's Zach Morillo

[@bramamortsell83]

[@cellemorais6849]

Como o mundo ainda não o conhece?!?!? Simplesmente incrível!!!

[@mgregg7]

For those unaware; possibly wishing for more, search for Milosh 'Awful Game', or 'Meme', etc. (there are a few). You are welcome.

[@Lorenzconnok]

Lol I found them in reverse. Milosh first and then last week, I said to myself "Damn, this Rhye, they sound a lot like Milosh... *looks up band*, whuu :o"

[@crazysweetgrannywalker]

[@alecas90]

Nada como verlos en vivo, la atmósfera exquisita y la música que llena el alma, de mis bandas preferidas sin duda.

[@TheTontontoni]

Los veré en unos días. ¿alguna recomendación?

[@alecas90]

de música?

[@TheTontontoni]

Ale Castellanos no, me refiero por supuesto a cómo debería comportarme en el concierto. además, ¿tocan sólo Woman o también otras cosas?

[@alecas90]

Pues al comienzo la atmósfera es súper romantica e intima, después se desarrolla un muy buen ambiente, terminamos bailando todos muy animados, sí solo fue Woman.

[@substanceandevidence]

Trombone player is Claire Courchene.

[@davidloreti1]

wonderful song!

[@brendaom8544]

rhye siempre me hará volar

[@JR-xv6mv]

A little un-tight, but still quite enjoyable. I hope they'll be better on Saturday in London.

[@petterjodinson7936]

That drum solo at 10:00 is so sickkk ahaha

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

Interesting form of music.

[@jessicat7749]

[@hendruVita]

Dios mio cuanta bellezaaa

[@joegardiner4220]

I think bonham himself would approve

[@FreakyStyleyism]

Last dance is just so fucking perfect :O

[@user-qg3mp5wr3e]

I cried.

[@cherryrm]

I've been listening to this album for three years and today is the first time I learned that the lead singer is a guy. Amazing.

[@conchitagutierrez6531]

[@jartosathos]

Apaga la luz, Mariluz!!!!!

[@tucinella4800]

He sounds like an angel for me. I'm atheist.

[@dogtownlounge5986]

Would someone please post the band lineup for this concert? This is wonderful!

[@yxlau4845]

front row but you ain't see nothing. paid more for the same experience as the backseats. good thing the music is so good.

[@zoktoberfest]

I love Rhye and this live performance is stunning, but where the hell are the stage lights? I understand that an opaque mood was being attempted here, but they took it a little too far

[@cajstretton]

Jeffrey Zaiser q

[@PeterWang691]

still can't believe a man is singing

[@tripxxzxw]

oh my ♥

[@fudgetickle]

I want to be able to listen to this in my car... So much sexy Rhye.

[@MonkeyHouseNA]

Donate to their bandcamp and then burn this onto a cd :)

[@rudylete]

[@snackarinos]

SESSYTIME!!!

[@arxsyn]

Like sade and kd lang

[@BALENCIAGAGABAGHOUL666]

Oh my god..

[@RainerMariaRilke9]

and the heart?

[@thatgingerkid15]

sex. he's singing about sex, guys.

[@nathankolbe2233]

I think he's talking actually talking about his favorite supplement store. He's a fool for how his protein shakes. He's got a serious craving but its late and he needs the place to stay open.

[@thatgingerkid15]

I'm a fool for the whey shake to gain size. I'm a fool for that grape flavored Mr. Hyde. I'm a fool for supps in my belly. I'm a fool for those powders I love.

[@kellyalexander8189]

Milosh kinda makes m gasp for air and dampen my boxer briefs. What a fucking man.

[@12sanful]

Mike Milosh

[@fallguyful]

This is like drinking a big glass of cold chocolate almond milk when you are a little thirsty and hungry.

[@zackowens7148]

[@debbypimenta1462]

[@jonathanactinin7156]
