RICARDO WILLIAMS‘ new project, ‘4×7 (Four by Seven)’, was created in a remarkable 7-day challenge. Featuring a unique mix of Christmas and R&B sounds, the EP includes two soulful R&B tracks alongside two festive songs, each offering a fresh twist on Christmas music. Known for embracing challenges, Ricardo has previously pushed the boundaries by writing, recording, and releasing a single within 24 hours. However, ‘4×7 marks his boldest venture yet: completing an entire EP in just seven days.
The EP’s focus track, ‘Till The Day We Die’, showcases Ricardo’s rich R&B sound and storytelling style that fans have come to love. With 4×7, Ricardo set out to source the instrumentals, write the lyrics, record vocals, and publish a full EP in a single week.
He describes the experience as both exciting and freeing. “I just really wanted to jump back into the swing of things, and how better to set myself a challenge to create a body of work or EP in a short amount of time,” Ricardo shares. “Letting go of perfection and just giving the audience exactly what they want is good R&B music.”
With a distinct take on Christmas, 4×7 blends the festive warmth of the season with Ricardo’s signature R&B soul, creating a genre-blending experience that is both celebratory and introspective. The EP reflects Ricardo’s artistic growth, exploring the contrasts between festive cheer and deep R&B grooves.
