ringgold Breaks His Emotional Boundaries On "I'm Not Yours"

27-year-old singer-songwriter, ringgold showcases his talents by blending genres and intertwining fact and fiction in his latest song, “I’m Not Yours.” The track exhibits his ability to mix different elements and incorporate a range of differing sounds and details a compelling testament to his story-centric approach. 

By infusing his ambitious production and vocals with instantly relatable lyrics inspired by his diverse upbringing and relationships. The indie-pop Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist proves with his pen game that “I’m Not Yours” is worth the listen with its lyrically styled personal, raw, and individualistic aesthetics.

The inspiration behind the song came from a conversation ringgold had with his friends in the studio. They discussed a friend archetype that kept popping up in their lives. Regarding the meaning behind the song and its composition process, ringgold has this to say:

“I was in the studio after a session, and we got to talking about this friend archetype that kept popping up in our lives: someone with a magnetic personality and an ability to make you feel like the most important person in a room. You have this intense emotional relationship with them that moves hard and fast until one day, they get bored and move on to someone new without any real explanation. All of a sudden, you’re left feeling confused and disposable and like you can’t trust your intuition. “I’m not yours” was written in the aftermath of that conversation, and it was one of those songs that fell out of me once I started writing it.”
