Forever Beyond

I saw Nina live for the first time on her album release concert in Amsterdam. She’s so pure in her music. I loved it! There was one song that really touched me and I asked her afterwards if I could try and remix this song for her, and here it is ‘For love’ remix for the wonderful @ninajune - thank you Nina for letting me do this. ❤

This One's For You

Cradle

Rui - Cradle (Feat. Marijn)

Caught up in your own world. Selfishly thinking that this was only about yourself. You’ve never had the chance to call her your loved one.

My second single from my upcoming album. Wrote this song together with my dear friends, believe it or not. It was a sunny afternoon. ;)

Rui - One Man Show

A warm place where everybody desires to go to. A place where there’s no judgement. A place where you can be yourself. A place with unconditional love.

Marigold

Rui - Marigold (Feat. Yori)

My first music album is out!!!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Creating this album was definitely some kind of a therapy. Heartbreak, being lost… I could go on :)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It helped me grow and it send me to new adventures and I’ll always be grateful for that. ⁣⁣
The journey of writing it with friends and finishing it. Fuck man I can’t put that into words. I want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I am super happy that it’s finally out but it doesn’t belong to me anymore. It belongs to the one who’s going to listen.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This is what I leave behind, for now. I really hope it brings you a bit of joy and encouragement to get you going in this beautiful thing called life. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m moving on to my next adventure.⁣⁣

This One’s For You.⁣ ✨🍃🌛🌞🌹♥️🌼🌳

Night Fall

Lyrics:

Shit could be worse
You could be a real serial killer
I guess I’m cursed 
Made me fall in love and then just cut me off
Shit could be worse 
You said, you smoke, you laughed
You left me in your mess 
Shit could be worse 

But here we are, here we are 
Here we are, here we are 

Let’s ride all night
Let’s get outta here 
Rearview mirror sight 
I got nothing here 

Let’s ride all night
Let’s get outta here 
Rearview mirror sight 
Love is never clear 

I went in too deep 
Touching the water didn’t wanna go further
But now I can’t breathe 
Drowning in the ocean 
I’m sinking in slowmotion 
You never saw me 
You said, you smoked, you laughed 
You left me in this mess 
You never saw me 

Let’s ride all night
Let’s get outta here 
Rearview mirror sight 
I got nothing here

Let’s ride all night
Let’s get outta here 
Rearview mirror sight 
Love is never clear 

Let’s ride all night
Rearview mirror sight 
Let’s ride all night 
Let’s ride all night

Paradise ft. Lywe

Storytelling through music is one of the things that Portuguese-born, Amsterdam based composer & producer Rui Reis Maia excels at.

Through a mutual friend he connected with Saman Amini, a Dutch actor, theater maker and musician. They bonded over their passion for storytelling and decided to take a leap together. The result was the successful ‘Samenloop van Omstandigheden’. The show premiered with a 4-star score in Volkskrant, one of The Netherland’s largest and most prestige newspapers, and was named second to best theater performance of 2017.

During the showing of ‘Samenloop van Omstandigheden’ Rui’s music was picked up by Film director Norbert ter Hall, known for the awarded television show A’DAM – E.V.A. Together they started collaborating on Norbert ter Hall’s newest project; the movie adaptation of Mano Bouzamour book ‘De Belofte van Pisa’. With this collaboration Rui’s dream of writing music for movies came true. ‘De Belofte van Pisa’ will air in movie theatres in October 2019, just a few months after the release of Rui’s much acclaimed debut album.

The idea for an album took shape back in 2017 and became fully mature in 2019. With the album Rui reflects on his own life experiences and translates them into songs that aim to trigger every listener. Just like his album, Rui’s life will always translate into music and his path is one of creativity, idea’s, storytelling and chasing dream after dream. 

His open letter to you. ❤

Rui Reis Maia
