Denver Alt-Pop Artist Shares “Hurry” to Explore Desire and Control: A hypnotic exploration of desire, control, and feminine autonomy

[DENVER, CO]: Riah, a Denver-based artist, is premiering the official music video of her single “Hurry” on YouTube on February 10th, 2026. This track is originally from on her late-2024 album “Trauma Bond.” Written from a place of emotional tension, “Hurry” explores the intersection between desire and action: The moment where wanting someone feels urgent but choosing costs power.

The music video will have a publically at Love Bites show at the Creepatorium on February 14th, where Riah will be performing her song live alongside other Aerial, Burlesque, Dance, and Live Music acts from the DejaView crew. All ticket sale payouts from this show will be donated to worthy current causes. Get your tickets here.

The track emphasizes anticipation rather than the feeling of release through leaning into the psychological push-and-pull, which is a concept that defines modern dating and intimacy. Riah’s signature balance of softness and menace is once again showcased in “Hurry” by blending atmospheric, rhythm-driven alt-pop with moody bass lines, intimate vocals, and restrained production.

“Hurry started picking up unexpected momentum months after the album came out, and that response made me realize the song still had more to say visually,” Riah expresses.

“Even though it’s unconventional to release a video over a year later, the energy around it felt alive again, so I followed it.” — Riah.

Directed with bold visual intention, the music video contains bright, intentional spaces, tightly choreographed movement, and multiple vibrant worlds, while introducing an alter ego, who embodies the internal conflict between instinct and restraint.

“Every setting is bold on purpose, mirroring the urgency and tension in the song.” — Riah.

“She represents the part of me that pushes, challenges, and refuses to wait. Neither side is right or wrong.” —Riah.

Produced by Pacific and mixed and mastered by Quoc Truong, “Hurry” stands as a defining visual chapter for the song, reinforcing Riah’s confidence-driven approach to intimacy, autonomy, and self-duality. Rather than offering resolution, both the song and video sit comfortably in anticipation, who moves first, who waits, and who ultimately decides. The video was shot by Johnny Singels and choreographed by Lindsey Judd.
