Rhye is an R&B musical project of Canadian singer Mike Milosh. It originally consisted of him and Danish instrumentalist Robin Hannibal.[1] They released the singles "Open" and "The Fall" online without much detail, which led to speculation about the band. Their debut album, Woman, was released on March 4, 2013.[2][3][4] In June 2013, the album was longlisted for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize. In 2017, it was reported that Robin Hannibal was no longer a member of Rhye and that the project had evolved into a music collective led by Milosh and focused around the associated live band.[5] Their second album, Blood, was released on February 2, 2018, and was largely written, produced, and performed by Milosh.[6][7]

In 2018, Rhye began an international tour to promote the album Blood.[8]
