“‘Lucky 7’ is a seven-track EP that delves into my experiences over the past few years. It blends R&B, Funk, Rock, and Alternative elements, capturing emotions of longing, reflections on the past, and hopes for the future. These songs are part of a larger project I’ve been developing, chosen as the lucky few that made it onto the EP,” says RINI.
The EP contains previously released singles “Miracle”, “Matter To You”, and “Your Ecstasy” as well as new material that showcases RINI’s impassioned prose. These songs have already garnered significant praise from major voices in media, including Joe Budden, who exclaimed on his podcast: “RINI! I love you. Finally, someone keeping the guitarist alive on the end of records.” Additional support from Billboard, Rolling Stone Australia, Rated R&B, and UPROXX has firmly established RINI’s position as one of the hottest up-and-coming R&B artists to watch.
RINI’s refined songwriting skills maintain a certain level of honesty and openness that has defined his past work. And ‘Lucky 7’ feels as intimate as a closely guarded secret, a tender collection of blissed-out anthems that chronicle the free fall of falling in love.

That sensation, and his profound courage to confront vulnerability, is channeled into songs like “Gone With The Wind”. Effortlessly striking a chord with audiences worldwide, RINI’s latest entry reminds us all that finding true love is not about luck; it just happens when you least expect it. The new project marks his first full-length project since his critically acclaimed ‘UltraViolet’ EP.
