Song of the Day: Rini, “Emerald”

Occsionally I stumble across an artist I’ve never heard of but like their songs so much that I decide to share them. In this case, I had never heard of Rini, so I checked his YouTube channel, which led me to his Facebook page, where I learned this:

Justerini Sandoval, also known as RINI, is an up and coming RnB and soul artist from south east Melbourne. His sound has been influenced by Frank Ocean, Daniel Caesar, Kehlani, Bryson Tiller and The Weeknd. His latest self-titled album ‘RINI’ featuring JSPA, Nasty Mars, Olivia Escuyos, with a touch of RMR Productions, outlines themes of love, loss and passion. Since starting his own production of music and songwriting last year, he has worked and performed alongside some of Melbourne’s best local artists such as Billy Davis, Jordan Dennis, Blasko and Deandre Brackensick.

This is from his eponymous album, which you can hear on his YouTube channel.
