LA-based electro-pop, neo-soul producers RKCB deliver a shimmering heartfelt music video for ‘Alone With You Pt. 2’

LA-based production duo RKCB, comprised of Riley Knapp and Casey Barth, whose alchemic sound fuses neo-soul, modern electronic R&B and dreamy synth-pop with avant-garde lyrics, resulting in an unparalleled sound. Accomplished producers and songwriters in their own right, having worked w/ Tinashe, Julia Michaels, Kacy Hill & more (along eclipsing 100 million Spotify streams to their name alone), RKCB is poised to have a break-out year all their own in 2019.

Their new single “Know Love” came out last week via AllPoints (Believe’s in-house label), which is the final new music the duo’s releasing this side of the year (stay tuned for some big news early next year!).

After spending the majority of 2018 in seclusion in the studio, RKCB returned to the spotlight in October with the release of “Alone With You Pt. 2” and its gorgeous music video, the acclaimed follow-up to their 2017 single “Alone, With You”. “Know Love” draws upon the moody aesthetic set forth on “Alone With You Pt. 2” and adds in the duo’s modern production techniques to include warm synth lines and heart-pounding percussion that wash over the listener, while RKCB’s impassioned vocals elevate the track to exorbitant levels.
