Riah’s music video for “Sertraline” hits you right in the gut. Named after the antidepressant she takes to manage OCD and Complex PTSD, the track is the heartbeat of a project that dives into the rawest parts of her experience. This album isn’t afraid to address topics that many people shy away from, and each track exposes a new layer of who Riah is. With “Sertraline,” she reaches into the darkest depths, where the struggle is painful, but the resilience is undeniable.
The video opens in a candle-lit room, a dim setting that flickers with the duality of despair and hope. Dressed in a way that’s both edgy and elegant, Riah moves into a pole dance routine—a passion of hers that makes this video feel more like a performance art piece than a typical music video. The fluidity and intensity of her movements capture the song’s emotional swings, each twist and reach becoming a powerful symbol of inner conflict and release. She’s pushing against invisible chains, telling a story of pain, survival, and self-liberation in ways that words alone can’t convey.
Riah’s voice is strikingly raw and honest as she sings about battling her inner demons, making each line feel as though it’s pulled from her soul. Lyrics like “battle scars and metal bars can’t keep me” reveal a sense of strength that’s hard-won, not handed to her. This vulnerability is what makes Trauma Bond resonate so deeply. The entire album navigates the aftermath of complex personal experiences, from struggles with family dynamics to inner conflicts that don’t have a simple resolution.
Released in September, Trauma Bond has quickly been noticed for its unfiltered storytelling and its layered, dark-pop sound. Since its release, the album has not only captivated fans but has also drawn attention from media outlets like New Edge Times and This Sound Nation, marking Riah as a rising force in the Bedroom Pop scene. Her blend of “villain energy” with vulnerability creates an edgy allure, challenging typical portrayals of femininity in pop music. She’s building momentum as both an artist and entrepreneur, showing what it means to take full control of her narrative and redefine her identity on her own terms.
By the time the song ends, you’re left with more than just a catchy chorus. Riah leaves a message etched in quiet strength—her battle scars are visible, yes, but they haven’t broken her. And as you sit with the silence that follows, you realize that’s exactly what makes her story so powerful.
