Arima Ederra by Obsolete A Rush To Nowhere LISTEN: https://arimaederra.lnk.to/ARTN
(March 6th, 2025) - LA-based singer-songwriter Arima Ederra releases her sophomore album, A Rush To Nowhere via Arima’s Lab/RCA Records. Arima opened this new creative chapter with early singles “Heard What You Said” and “First Time”, which established the subdued visual language of the album centered on the spiraling nature of time that Arima conceived of with Jesse Crankson and Jake-Isaac Elwin of Obsolete. She also released “You’re My”, a radiant love song that she performed as part of a medley with album cut “Air and Everywhere” for a live performance visual directed by Neema Sadeghi and shot at Union Station in LA, recorded the same day as her special pre-release free show for fans.
Largely written during stints traveling away from her home base of LA, Arima’s new album halts time for a meditation on her past, present and future, choosing to write through time as the spiraling language of human life rather than a linear narrative. She collapses memories, journal entries and hopeful declarations together into a body of work that’s wholeheartedly personal and earnest. Arima made the album in collaboration with executive producer and close friend Teo Halm (SZA, Rosalía, Omar Apollo), who also enlisted additional production from talented producers like Caleb Laven (Vince Staples, Childish Gambino), Solomonphonic (Lola Young, Dominic Fike, Remi Wolf) and Rahm Silverglade (serpentwithfeet, Snoh Alaegra, Deb Never). Sonically, the album traverses the Black music tradition regardless of genre, colliding elements of soul, R&B, pop and folk into a transporting sound that serves as a vessel for Arima’s writing and her honeyed voice.
Time isn't just what moves us forward, but what allows us to return, to remember, to become Music has a way of stopping time especially when I need it most creating sanctuary in a world that never slows In that suspended moment is where I find myself most clearly Writing this work revealed the many versions of me across time The multitudes I hold - Arima Ederra
A Rush To Nowhere is four years in the making following the success of her 2022 debut album An Orange Colored Day, which earned praise from The New York Times, Pitchfork, The FADER and i-D, who said the album “breathes affirmations of an imaginative utopia to life and begs us to imagine what freedom feels like”. A devout writer, Arima approaches her music with a curious wonder, picking loose threads on our relationships to mortality, loss, family, love and time. Throughout 2024 and 2025, she released one-off songs that she used as catharsis to release herself of the emotions she felt watching the state of the world around her, like on “Oh God” featuring Mereba and “Really Tired”, which coincided with the conclusion of her run touring alongside friend Ravyn Lenae.
