Rita Mae explores the fear of feeling too deeply on her massive new single 'No God'

18 October 2024 - 0 Comments

Aotearoa’s indie star Rita Mae today releases her addictive, final single No God, ahead of her forthcoming EP Kiss The Sky out November 15.

Listen to No God HERE

Gritty, raw and to-the-point, No God is no exception to her unique style of indie-alt rock ‘n pop she has been honing in on with previous singles Poster Child, Big Star, My Bad and Kiss The Sky. Musically mirroring the lyricism of delving into big feelings, Rita says “No God is about the fear of feeling too deeply, a fear of jumping completely in.”

She expands: “What if I fall too hard and never recover? Sometimes love can be so intense that you really think it could kill you.”

Written by Rita Mae, Joel Jones, Harry Charles, who also produced the track, No God captures a sense of being simultaneously cynical and hopelessly romantic, capturing the inescapable feeling of “drowning in love.”

No God is the final single to be released from Rita’s upcoming EP Kiss The Sky, out November 15. Her track record of success with the EP’s previous singles is undeniable, with Kiss The Sky reaching #14 on the Hot 20 NZ Singles Chart, and My Bad spending 5 consecutive weeks upon RadioScope’s Alt Chart. Her tracks have been shared by Rolling Stone AU/NZ, Sniffers, NZ Herald, Hype Medium, and more.

Rita Mae has been making waves in Aotearoa’s alt-indie scene since she started releasing songs like the stirring The Secret's Out in 2021 and then the effortlessly cool Candy’s House in 2021. In 2023 she unveiled her EP Superfeeling Deluxe, which featured Candy's House (Comedown Song). The single was featured on the likes of Rolling Stone AU/NZ, Sniffers, Coup de Main, ZM and The Edge.

In 2023, Rolling Stone AU/NZ magazine tipped her as “one of eight Kiwis artists tipped to take over”, saying “Music is in her DNA, and Rita Mae’s future as an artist in her own right looks very bright indeed…”

Rita Mae’s new EP Kiss The Sky is out November 15.
