UK based alt R&B artist RVHEEM (pronounced ‘Raheem’) just released his gorgeous new single entitled “For You.” The talented artist, who is of Kenyan and South Indian descent, has been making waves as an emerging artist in Liverpool since 2018 and embodies the sensual bliss and unwavering versatility of soulful artists and icons such as Khalid, Sade and H.E.R.
In “For You,” RVHEEM captures the raw essence and undeniable beauty of a man’s tender heart as he fights for the one he loves. With heart-wrenching lyrics over a melancholy R&B dipped melody, RVHEEM’s vocals glide sweetly and with sincerity as he unravels the many layers of his emotions, gently taking the listener into the depths of his soul. The vulnerability that RVHEEM exudes and the truth in his words is hard to deny, and you may ask yourself how this lowkey song can have such a profound effect on the mind and soul. This is what music is about, a universal language that binds us together, and a divine reminder that we are all healing from similar emotional wounds at our cores. He admits, “It’s easier for a man to act as if he doesn’t care than it is to face his true feelings. ‘For You’ was my way of accepting how I felt, and it taught me that it’s okay to not be okay sometimes.” With a delicate and stripped down approach, RVHEEM reminds us all how to feel, how to love, and how to lose with honest grace.
RVHEEM is both an artist and mental health activist living in Liverpool. He’s been recognised by the likes of PRS For Music and BBC, and aims to bring people together through the power of storytelling and song.
