Inside Rika - Rai’s New Project “Blazin”
“Blazin” is a song that’s relatable, soul-stirring, and speak directly to the heart. The words are real and a result of Rika – Rai’s past feelings of hopelessness. In 2013 she lost her mom to cancer, and in 2014 Rika – Rai lost her father. Needless to say, this left her broken to the point that she never wanted to sing again. But glory to God she was reminded of her calling, and Blazin’ was birthed. The song is dedicated to her parents because they were her biggest supporters. Today Rika-Rai continues to gain strength by telling her story.
Blazin’ is about returning to God in a way that is so intimate, that it requires transparency. You're left crying out and feeling vulnerable, but on FIRE all at the same time.
