- "Napoleon" from Riki's self-titled album on Dais Records.
Order on LP/CD/Digital: www.daisrecord...
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!!
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...
Cool!
He sees you, you chose him
He chose you, now you’re frozen
I know that feeling!
Back to 80's synthpop , love it
Yes in the 2020's and loving it💄😎👠
Dais knows where the talents at. This is ridiculously good.
Absolute masterpiece, need to understand why nowadays songs like these are so underrated when around us we have so much trash music.
My thoughts too
Maybe the human race is going stupid And would rather listen to zombie music
I think it’s good that it’s slightly more underground. The masses would ruin this.
Listen to TR/ST or Boy Harsher
@@yoomang7 or rue oberkampf or kompromat or minuit machine. There is still good music
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.
yes!!! that album by Valerie is one of my all time favourites!
Perfection. Finally synth music that isn't just "80's inspired" but completely true. Can't stop listening, amazing work!
I just saw her live in Mexico.
She’s a goddess, she’s pure talent, pure energy and she should reign the fucking world!
I wish I could die and ascend to the ethereal realm where she makes this music in.
I am in love with her; she doesnt know., haha.
I just saw her live in Seattle last night and oh my god. 11/10.
@@newingvaeona8907so fucking real
she is the prettiest singer ever dam
Yes, strong agree
80s revival🔥
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!
The aesthetics remind me a little of the movie The Love Witch
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
She gives me russian synth pop vibes love it
I love this so much. 80's goth with an ZYX Italo edge. Perfect.
ive been listening to this on repeat for weeks no thoughts head empty
This is even better live!
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
It's a modern masterpiece, the beat and voice is legendary
I play this song at almost every single goth kink party i host in new orleans. This song is a BOP.
Same
Gotta get me a plane to new orleans
Hot, campy and goth, plus that guy looks like a young Andrew Eldritch.
Yes! I thought that as well! I was like...Andrew??
Is it just me or does the set design look a little like the house from TerrorVision (1986)?
Riki is absolutely beautiful.
Beyond so.
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
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."
Im obsessed with this song, Riki is soooooo good
10/10 Dais is a very exciting label. Riki is awesome, whole album is brilliant!
So many great bands this 2019 and most of them on Dais
This will be a classic in a few years. How time goes by. Thanks for this song Riki!!
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 ❤
Back to italo-disco time!
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.
I hit "like" as soon as I read Dais Records.
Querétaro 2023. Impresionante mujer
luv Riki so much, i’m so glad that i found her songs🖤
Lo mejor que e escuchado hasta ahora que está por finalizar este maldito 2023
Amazing revival of the 80's music style and loving it, can't wait for the full album coming soon 😎👠💄

Great song
Incredible. Breathtaking. Music is amazing. This is a masterpiece with the visuals and music. She is fantastic.
This is some heat!!
If this isn’t in the napoleon movie then I ain’t watching 😤
Already promising with their ep, their debut album looks amazing !!
RIKI is one of the most magnificent body expressionists/ dancer artists I have ever set eyes on ...totally and utterly mesmerizing , can not take my eyes off her no matter who or what is near or around her ;D
This song should be huge and the video just as big lol. Amazing work here.
Lo máximo ❤❤❤❤

I can’t stop listening to this album! So good!
Great!!!
Really 2019? Oh, my. I think, I'll be in 80's
love this song, incredibly great Italo disco influence.
magnificent album, currently on Repeat.
💜 RIKI ... 🎶
INCREDIBLE performer. A fucking star.
I had to look at the track information to make sure this was an actual new release and not a song from the 80s I didn't remember.
The 2020' will be an all 80's revival for sure
Same 😄 Thought it was a track I’d overlooked. Nope. Sheer exquisite retro
I thought the same! I even looked at the Album cover and couldn’t believe it’s fairly new
I love this. I have digested it over night. I can't wait for Valentines Day!
It is a interesting mix of Xmal Deutschland, Depeche Mode and Bananarama
Ive heard all of these and am obsessed but I havent heard of Bananrama might have to check it out thanks internet stranger :)
and a small touch of Camouflage (Love is a shield). Works perfect for me
❤
So very Italo sounding ❤
Yes💃💃🏽🕺🏿🕺🏽💃🏽🕺🏽💃🏽🕺🏽💃🏽🤸♀️💃🏽🤸♂️
Awesome video, beautiful singer, fabulous song. It is a call to the pleasure of dancing. And that fade out is the best
So 80's!!
Woah this is majestic!
Like The Frozen Autumn!
Help me I can't stop listening to this
Love the songs beat🦇
I cannot stop listening to this 🖤😩 love love love
