about

In late 2019 real life couple and musical duo Kianna Camille and AJ Rios combined forces for their lush collaborative album 22 Mirrors. Highlighting Rios’ soulful production and Camille’s gorgeous vocals, the album was a promising debut that showcased the pair’s radiant creative spirit. In the months since their work has received the enthusiastic endorsement of beat scene icons like Knxwledge.

Less than one year after dropping their first full-length joint effort, Camille and Rios are back with Ultraviolet - a concept album that explores the emotions of an ongoing toxic relationship. With careful attention given to each lyric, Camille’s songwriting takes the listener through the roller coaster of initial excitement, anger and betrayal, and eventual forgiveness of an unhealthy romance. Featuring largely non-sampled music and a heavier emphasis on live instrumentation, Rios’ production elegantly embraces the vocals throughout this unique feat of musical storytelling.

Between the infatuation expressed on “Your Love (Demo)” and “Ride,” the heartbreak and pain heard on “Dusk” and “Pieces (Of Mind),” and the uncertain acceptance beautifully expressed on “Waiting,” the listener leaves Ultraviolet feeling they’ve been sitting side by side with this fictional couple throughout their ups and downs.

Audiences will also gain an intimate familiarity with the artists who painstakingly crafted Ultraviolet. Sidestepping the single-driven market of the modern industry, the album is a richly layered, captivating experience. With Camille handling all songwriting and vocal duties with the exception of a cameo from Mr. Wright, and Rios taking on instrumentation, mixing, and production duties, every facet of the final project is very much their own unique creation.

In a world moving at lightning speed where albums seem to come and go with the blink of an eye, Ultraviolet gives listeners permission to let go and fully immerse themselves in the music.
