Cubico

Ria Moran steps into a bold new chapter with Cubico, her debut solo album via DeepMatter Records. A deeply personal and sonically rich project, Cubico sees Ria stepping forward as a producer and instrumentalist, blending R&B, neo-soul, and jazz with introspective songwriting that explores love, self-discovery, and emotional growth.

The 12-track album moves fluidly between smooth R&B grooves and darker alternative tones, embodying the full spectrum of her artistry--sweet, emotional, moody, quirky, and fun. Ria made her long-awaited return in November 2024 with "Take It or Leave It", a collaboration with Nubiyan Twist that showcased her evolving artistry and set the stage for Cubico.

Her music sits at the juncture of forward-thinking UK soul music and nu-jazz, placing her alongside contemporaries including Ego Ella May, Yazmin Lacey, and Cleo Sol, whilst also nodding to pioneers like Sade and Erykah Badu.

With Cubico, Ria Moran is fully stepping into her own as an artist, delivering a debut album that is as raw as it is soulful, as vulnerable as it is empowering--a must-hear for fans of innovative and heartfelt music.
