Initially swathed in mystery, Rhye (the long-running project of the Canadian musician Mike Milosh, initially founded as a duo with the Danish producer Robin Hannibal) emerged in 2012 as the pure embodiment of desire; their critically acclaimed debut album, 2013’s Woman, drew from the sounds of quiet storm R&B, sophisti-pop, and minimalist disco, striking a mood halfway between coy and turbo-horny. Now primarily a solo project for Milosh, whose countertenor is as swoon-worthy as ever, Rhye builds on the six-track JOY EP (released in June 2026) with six more tracks that further establish Milosh as the last of the true romantics. Over sweeping strings, drum machines, and subtle disco grooves, Milosh has a few questions: Do you want me? Do you need me? Will you dance with me? Is it forever? On the stately “Summer Song,” he turns his yearning into a mantra: “Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love.”
