Dropping its Signature Edition on April 11th, this track is a fresh breeze from the Alternative/Indie scene, a journey of emotional liberation and sonic exploration.
“Rick James” is about those moments when you find yourself at a crossroads, choosing liberation over stagnation. The song encapsulates the essence of letting go, dancing away the ties that bind you to someone who’s unwilling to change.

Her journey from South Florida to the heart of LA’s indie scene has been marked by a relentless pursuit of authenticity. Through “Baby Boy,” her debut single, to the acclaimed “Light Blue” EP, Ryahn has not just shared her music; she has shared herself, her struggles and her triumphs.
The significance of “Rick James” extends beyond its lyrical depth and musical mastery. As a Signature Edition release, limited to only 100 copies, it represents a unique opportunity for fans and collectors alike to own one of the first pieces of Ryahn’s webj3 music history.
When paired with an active Jukebox Node, these NFT tracks entitle the owner to daily $MUSIC rewards based on the track’s platform popularity. As the rarest NFT edition possible on Gala Music, Signature tracks also come with the greatest possible reward multipliers.
In its most genuine form, music has the power to transcend barriers, connect hearts and catalyze change. “Rick James” is for those wandering in the limbo of waiting, a reminder that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is let go and dance.
As we welcome her into our rapidly growing world of web3 music, Ryahn is inviting us into her world, offering a soundtrack to our own stories of liberation and joy.
