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 out now digitally, on CD, and 12″ vinyl LP worldwide.

Be Love is available on CD and 12″ vinyl in the US on February 13, 2026.
