“Her hot new release “Good Bad Decisions” is high-energy, emotionally-rich, passionate pop-rock at its absolute best, with a touch of raunchy-revenge-country-crossover reminiscent of Carrie Underwood’s chart-topping hit “Before He Cheats.” ...With its riveting rhythmic beat, masterful melody, driving guitar riffs and catchy chorus, its intoxicating hook will have you playing it over and over again. Consistent with Ria’s past releases, the song’s lyrics are highly relatable…anyone who has ridden the roller coaster of a romantic relationship can empathize...As we used to say in the days of old-time radio, “Good Bad Decisions” deserves to chart at number one with a bullet and played on heavy rotation. Ria continues to set the quality bar higher and higher with each new release and remains one of Vancouver’s most accomplished musicians."”
“Tender vocals and sweet melodies. This acoustic, heartfelt song is about moving on from negative events and relationships of our past. “Sage” is a song Ria has been holding onto for some time now, but has finally chosen to let the world hear it, and I can confidently say that it was a fantastic choice. Her lyrics are relatable, yet so clearly personal; whether you are trying to get over a past relationship, or simply want a clean slate, this song will definitely move you. The lyrics, “I don’t wanna guide her ghost around no more / I’ve been burning sage but she’s breaking down these doors,” resonated with me.”
“Marking a return to music for the Vancouver artist, her voice has never lost its spark, using the track’s narrative to bring light to (and showcase) LGBTQ acceptance. The upbeat alt-pop track has plenty of punch, a modernized retro sound that wouldn’t sound out of place on a jukebox spin – it helps that the music video is set in a local Kitsilano diner.”
"Ria Jade is a singer, songwriter, musician and philanthropist who, since she came on to the music scene, has won multiple awards. It takes passion and strong work ethic to achieve what Ria has achieved. "
“There are lots of fabulous singers around, but what separates those who just dream of being a musical artist and those who are living it? Talent? Sure. Connections? They help. Determination. Definitely. But, perhaps most important of all, is the willingness to put yourself out there. Over and over again, even in the face of criticism and bullying. Ria Jade understands all this well.”
"We can’t wait for you all to hear this tune from Ria Jade. Our team can’t get it out of their heads! "
“DREAM ON: “The road doesn’t always have to come to a dark end,” said 19-year-old singer-songwriter Ria Jade who endured eating disorders and severe anxiety en route to hosting Shaw’s third-season eveRIAthing TV program. Youngsters who appear on the show competed in the second annual Wall of Stars concert that Jade presented at the Rio theatre recently. Of that generation, “We can change the world one dream at a time,” she said.”

This young rising star is all about the music, and not just her own. At the age of 16 Ria already has her own TV talk show called ‘EveRIAthing’ through this program she showcases talented and inspiring youth.”
