Riki - "Napoleon" (Official Video)
Музыка
"Napoleon" from Riki's self-titled album on Dais Records.
Order on LP/CD/Digital: www.daisrecords.com/collectio...
Riki is the Los Angeles based dark synth-pop outfit commandeered by the mysterious visual artist and musician Niff Nawor.
For her self-titled debut album for Dais, Riki explores courage, physicality, and romance across eight timeless synth pop anthems. Produced and engineered by hardware-based synthesist Matia Simovich of INHALT, influences and ideas are worn proudly without deviating from fresh and daring electro-pop territory. Nostalgic cues can be heard ranging from Neue Deutsch Welle, early Adrian Sherwood productions, classic ZYX Italo Disco, Japanese Visual Kei and even classic new wave/pop like Pat Benatar, Kate Bush, and early Madonna.
The lead single, Napoleon, contains Riki’s indelible sound design, reminiscent of 80’s New York dance floor electro-pop that recalls the fusion of uptown and downtown styles and culture, told through Riki’s present day West Coast narrative.
Riki invites listeners to “reveal their useless habits of complacency and fear...and witness their own rebirth, a rhythm universal”

LYRICS:
He’s standing in shadow his eyes are burning brightly
He’s set in his motion, tandem with everything
I feel him like fire, the lion I admire
Lieutenant Desire
His stance is wide
This dance is mine
He rocks in time
You too, are mine
Move up, let go, let your heart show
Nowhere to hide, the conqueror decides, but
Don’t panic, I won’t panic, don’t panic..
Oh, Napoleon can I touch your hair
Oh, Napoleon I cannot help but stare
Oh, Napoleon I’d really love to try
Oh, Napoleon to look you in the eye, you’re just my type of guy
He sees you, you chose him
He chose you, now you’re frozen
Set fire by his motion
No longer divided, conqueror decided
This time you know, he won’t let you go...
Oh, Napoleon galloping chords
Oh, Napoleon cut like a sword
Oh, Napoleon battalion of mind
Oh, Napoleon moves in time
Oh, Napoleon now you can see
Oh, Napoleon why it would be
Oh, Napoleon the armies ride
Oh, Napoleon to his stride, in perfect time

"He sees you, you chose him, he chose you now you're frozen" GENIUS!!
Perfection. Finally synth music that isn't just "80's inspired" but completely true. Can't stop listening, amazing work!
Absolute masterpiece, need to understand why nowadays songs like these are so underrated when around us we have so much trash music.

This one has something from the spirit of the 80s obscure italodisco songs that makes me listen to it again and again. For some reason it reminds me a bit of Tarzan Loves the Summer nights by BIG BEN TRIBE. Masterpiece!

I love the ones that remind me of italodisco, like Boy Harsher's surprisingly upbeat song Machina, which reminded me of Mr. Flagio's Take a Chance
Dais knows where the talents at. This is ridiculously good.
I love this so much. 80's goth with an ZYX Italo edge. Perfect.

It's so true, she is a beast at a stage, totally owned me and the rest of the crowd, think especially the males including me close to stage, her moves are so sexy haha
80s revival🔥
10/10 Dais is a very exciting label. Riki is awesome, whole album is brilliant!
This is SO reminiscent of an italo disco song, King Arthur by Valerie Dore. Historical figures, dancey but gothy vibe. It's a little more poppy and cheesy but worth it if you dig this.

So many great bands this 2019 and most of them on Dais
luv Riki so much, i’m so glad that i found her songs🖤
I love this! Riki is so freakin beautiful and the sound is PERFECT, I seriously can't wait to listen to the album🖤
I could watch Riki dance all day ❤
I came here to comment on how extraordinary this song is and how we will be bowing down to the talent of Riki forever and ever
Thanks RJ ❤ Awesome 😮
It's a modern masterpiece, the beat and voice is legendary
I've had the video on repeat for several hours and I'm still not tired of it. Love at first sight and not just the handsome cowboy looking like young Mickey Rourke from profile. Riki is a cutiepiedoll and I adore her acting (posing/emoting?) which is mesmerizing. She looks like a deer in headlights, but trying to play it cool: "Nah, I'm not in shock unable to move. I see those lights all the time. They make me look amazing from that angle. I think my agent pay them to follow me."
This is freaking awesome!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
This Song And Video Are Awesome, thank you very much ✌👑
Loving this 80's sound and amazing video.
She gives me russian synth pop vibes love it
I hit "like" as soon as I read Dais Records.
yeehhaaaw... love me some 80s western new wave in the 21st century. Welcome back 80s!!! you've been gone way too long. Nice one Riki!
I love her 💜🖤Omg!!!!! What a talented creature 🥰
Im obsessed with this song, Riki is soooooo good

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who can hear the Italo influence! Reminds me of the sound of Dark Silence or Invisible by Jennifer Munday.
