Described as “an evolution of sound — and of self,” RIOPY’s fifth album Be Love continues his journey from a childhood marked by isolation to global acclaim. 

Be Love was born from a deeply personal battle: the fight to recover when illness nearly silenced him. 

For RIOPY, that struggle sparked a return to singing — a lifelong fear turned necessity — and a bold expansion of his artistry. Recorded on his dream instrument, the Steinway Spirio, and mixed by GRAMMY® winner Oli Jacobs (Peter Gabriel, Lana Del Rey, Van Morrison), the album weaves delicate piano with whispers and chants, balancing survival and transcendence.

Be Love is released January 16, 2026.
