Rime is a collaboration between finnish producer Antti Hynninen and finnish-egyptian vocalist Sara Sayed. Their love for uncompromising musical contents and experimentation can be heard on their debut album "Our Kingdom". Rime have managed to combine electronic soul music, deep lyrics and rough beats in a unique and fresh way. The music on “Our Kingdom” challenges the listener, without futile complicity. The album is approachable, but reveals something new with every listen. The lyrics fuse perfectly with the music, creating a variety of strong and palpable scenes. Each song tells a story in an imaginative and captivating way. Combining real instruments with electronic beats is one of Rime's characteristics. Working with a string quartet on “Walking” and the title track “Our Kingdom” resulted in two very beautiful and emotive songs. Rime is the collaboration that was clearly supposed to happen and “Our Kingdom” is the proof.
