On November 10, George Riley is set to unveil her eagerly awaited EP, Un​/​limited Love, marking the dawn of a vibrant and provocative new era for the London-based R&B visionary. Following the sun-kissed house vibes of lead sigle “Elixir,” Riley just graced us with the frenetic “s e x.” This second single delves into the complex and tumultuous power dynamics that often underpin abusive relationships, shedding light on how individuals facing oppression can resort to any means necessary to rebalance the scales.

Collaborating with the Scottish producer Hudson Mohawke, “s e x” is an electrifying and pulsating composition that signals the forward-thinking artist’s shift from the intimate confines of her bedroom to the vibrant world of the rave scene.

The accompanying music video, an artistic creation by Tom Furse, renowned as a member of The Horrors and an accomplished visual artist in his own right, employs AI technology to illustrate how men frequently perceive women in their lives, often reducing them to mere objects of fantasy rather than acknowledging their humanity. In the video, Riley metamorphoses into various characters, including Goku, Catwoman, and the otherworldly opera singer from Luc Besson‘s The Fifth Element.

“Controller” features the vocals of Faris Badwan, more well-known from being the frontman of the indie rock band The Horrors, and it is a master and server, sub-dom sex anthem: “Use me, use me, that’s all I want” / “Tell me when to stop, and when to go, cause I love what you’re making me do” that explores a more darker experimental sound of Hercules & Love Affair, compared to their previous works.

The band will be playing at Les Nuits Botanique May 14. You can see all of the informations in here.
