Ritu Returns with Neo-Soul Jewel ‘Swimming’

Emerging after a three years hiatus, London-based young talent Ritu returns with a wonderful neo-soul effort, the catchy and soulful gem ‘Swimming’. Following up on ‘Runaway’, originally released in 2020, Ritu appears more determined than ever to forge her own style and unique artistry. She does so through light and eclectic jazzy arrangements, luscious chords and a vocal tone that’s near-perfect: from its intonation, range and expressivity, everything points toward a bright career for the British newcomer. 

Influenced by her heritage, Ritu manages to balance classical Indian elements and western tropes, resulting in a strong identity that’s set to make her stand out in an overcrowded industry. Lyrically, the song draws from a break-up situation, inspiring listeners into keeping their heads up: “This track is all about going through a hard time and getting through to the other side when you felt like you couldn’t.”
