RIVER returns with haunting new single and video 'I AM CANCER'

Swedish alt-pop artist RIVER shares her hypnotic new single 'I AM CANCER', alongside a striking visual. Merging ghostly synths, shimmering guitars, and emotionally charged vocals, the track dives into the disorienting experience of loving through emotional walls.

“‘I AM CANCER’ reflects an infected mind trying to love and receive love through a wall of defence…” RIVER explains. Raw and introspective, the song captures the ache of self-doubt and the struggle to feel worthy of connection.

Drawing on influences like Portishead and FKA twigs, RIVER’s cinematic soundscapes and poetic lyricism have made her a standout in Sweden’s underground alt-pop scene. The track marks a bold new chapter in her evolution as an artist confronting trauma, shame, and healing.
