Reminding us of the likes of Rick James and Lenny Kravitz, ‘I’m Lit’ is an absolute banger, a timeless slice of sensual grooves and soulful intensity. Built over old-school funk and R&B stylings, the track maintains a certain amount of eclecticism, resulting in a record that’s punchy, fierce and pretty uplifting.
Los Angeles-based creative Ricko is the talented human behind it. Marking a departure from his overall catalogue, the American artist embarks on a vintage-flavoured journey spanning 70s stylings and James Brown-esque lyricism, further enriched by his six-string guitar and his technical prowess. ‘I’m Lit’ also benefits from a playful music video, putting the record in historical context.
Alongside the music, Ricko boasts an impressive curriculum packed with prestigious collaboration and roles as a dancer. Having supported on stage the likes of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez, he’s a natural, if you will. Art is where he thrives, and ‘I’m Lit’ is further confirmation of that.
