Austin artist real name Riya Mahesh) has released her new single ‘Forever’, out via True Panther. 

A synth-pop, piano-laden confessional, Mahesh eschews the gauzy murkiness of her mixtape ‘Blue Angel Sparkling Silver 2’ – released in April this year – for a more opaque, universal offering. The aforementioned tape is the companion piece to Mahesh’s 2023 project, ‘Blue Angel Sparkling Silver’.

Quiet Light plays a sold out show at London’s Oslo tonight, the final performance of an 11-date tour which has taken her across Europe. She returns to the US for select southwest dates in December, including as support for James K.

It’s been a prolific time for Mahesh who was hand-selected to perform at Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural Daisy Chain Fields Festival, remixing fellow pop auteur Ms*Gloom’s ‘Hi, Society’ into a dreamy standout ballad of her own, and supporting Eartheater in New York and Ear in Chicago.  

Watch the Richard Phillip Smith-directed video for ‘Forever’, which captures Mahesh’s world – a portal of both romanticism and limitless possibility.
