Follow Genesis Ritchot
In the Ritchot family, we can say that music is in their blood. Genesis is no stranger to this, having collaborated with his brother Yanny, who already appeared on the track “Archer” in 2020 and on two tracks from the album Decades and Chance in 2022. Since July 2024, the two brothers have been delighting us with a new project called Parallel Worlds, and “Nessy” is the fourth single extracted from it. Beyond family ties, it’s a true team effort, as this new track also features beautiful cello arrangements by our favorite cellist, Harley Eblen, who we’ve often featured on Indie Music Center.
Beyond the Scottish legend, “Nessy” is mainly about passing on a family legacy that revolves around fishing by a lake, a practice that the brothers’ grandfather regularly engaged in, even though they could never join him. However, they wanted to convey how everything feels larger when you’re a child. And the result is this clever mix of nostalgia and contemplation especially with Harley’s incredible cello taking center stage in a divinely fabulous instrumental section.
Genesis also shared that he and Yanny are fans of the TV show How I Met Your Mother, where the character Marshall is passionate about legends. The two brothers were inspired by an episode where Marshall talks about the legendary Loch Ness creature using its nickname, “Nessy.”
Between family memories, magic through the cello and warm vocal harmonies, and a nearly century-old legend, this song is a combination of talent and creativity that reassures us that Genesis Ritchot deserves his place within the IMC Family. We can’t wait for what’s next!
