Ria Moran - Cubico *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 18th July 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Ria Moran steps into a bold new chapter with Cubico, her debut solo album
set for release in July 2025 via DeepMatter Records
A deeply personal and sonically rich project, Cubico sees Ria stepping forward as a
producer and instrumentalist, blending R&B, neo- soul, and jazz with introspective
songwriting that explores love, self- discovery, and emotional growth. The 12- track
album moves fuidly between smooth R&B grooves and darker alternative tones,
embodying the full spectrum of her artistry--sweet, emotional, moody, quirky, and fun.
Ria made her long- awaited return in November 2024 with Take It or Leave It, a
collaboration with Nubiyan Twist that showcased her evolving artistry and set the
stage for Cubico and fnding support from BBC Radio 6, Radio 1, Rinse FM, Jazz FM,
Worldwide FM, and more. Prior to this, her 2019 EP Moving into the Light gained
widespread recognition from BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 6, and Worldwide FM,
placing her among the UK's most exciting contemporary soul voices.
Her music sits at the juncture of forward-thinking UK soul music and nu-jazz, placing
her alongside contemporaries including Ego Ella May, Yazmin Lacey and Cleo Sol,
whilst also nodding to pioneers like Sade and Erykah Badu. Beyond her solo work, Ria
has built an impressive career as a collaborator. Her contributions to Nubiyan Twist's
Freedom Fables earned a MOBO Award nomination, and she later appeared on Blue
Note Records' Blue Note Re:Imagined series, performing a BBC Radio 2 live session at
the legendary Maida Vale Studios. She also worked with bassist Daniel Casimir on his
acclaimed Boxed In album, joining a roster of UK jazz heavyweights including Nubya
Garcia and Moses Boyd. Since 2019, she has been a touring vocalist with Gotts Street
Park, sharing stages with Celeste, ENNY, and Pip Millett.
With Cubico, Ria Moran is fully stepping into her own as an artist, delivering a debut
album that is as raw as it is soulful, as vulnerable as it is empowering--a must-hear for
fans of innovative and heartfelt music..
