London-based Liverpool-born singer/songwriter Ria Moran teamed up with UK afro-jazz fusion heavyweights Nubiyan Twist, for the new single “Take It Or Leave It.” The song is her first single since her 2019 EP Moving into the Light and serves as the perfect hiatus breaker as the track is a brilliant blend of new-age soul with afrobeat rhythms and classic neo-soul aesthetics. The track dives into the topic of boundary setting and standing on business regarding relationships and general human interaction and it’s bolstered by Moran’s sultry and enthralling vocal runs that blend perfectly with the anthemic horns, rousing grooves and rich musical tapestry laid before her.
Liverpool-raised, London-based alt-soul singer-songwriter Ria Moran is one of the UK’s most in demand vocalists. Over the past year, she’s toured extensively with Gotts Street Park, and before that she was the vocalist for UK afro jazz fusion pioneers Nubiyan Twist, recording on and touring their album ‘Freedom Fables’, which saw Ria and the band nominated for a MOBO Award. Ria and Nubiyan Twist also released music via legendary jazz label Blue Note Records as part of their ‘Blue Note Re:Imagined” series, culminating in a live session for BBC Radio 2 at the iconic Maida Vale Studios.
