Wayne Richy is speaking his truth most refreshingly and unforgettably with his debut EP, anchored by the lead track "I'm OK." More than a sign of promise, this song serves as a declarative statement about who he is as an artist and someone dedicated to marrying meaningful lyrics with melodies that stay with you. Wayne Richy has already begun work on his next project, and if "I'm OK" is any indication, his future discography will be one to watch.
"I'm OK" is founded on the kind of honesty and raw emotion that could go over the top, and yet it doesn't. Richy doesn't shy away from laying bare life's travails, and rather than fall back on clichés, he lets his pain become an empowering force. The song is a conversation with a best friend: genuine, unfiltered, and comforting in its vulnerability. It is his smooth and easygoing style that contrasts well with the heaviness of the subject matter, making the song both intimate and relatable to everyone.
What makes Richy stand out in a crowded music world is his purpose. He's not running to keep up with surface-level trends or disposable hooks. His ambition is unambiguous: to make music that strikes on a deeper level but is something people want to walk, run, and work and keep on replaying. "I'm OK" strikes that balance beautifully and shows that substantive rap music can still be catchy, and vulnerability can be a potent force. He has set that authentic, relatable groundwork to which his fans are sure to return.
