It marks his solo debut for Radio Slave's flagship label, succeeding his "Love Will Remain EP" together with Mark Broom as Star B in 2022. Active for more than two decades, Starr has been a consistent force within House music, known for building infectious loops, weighty basslines, and hook-led vocals into timeless club records. His catalogue spans his own Snatch! Records alongside labels such as Hot Creations, Cajual, Crosstown Rebels, and Factory 93, with releases regularly topping digital charts. 

Had such a ball producing this EP for one of my favourite labels out there. I definitely don't take consistency and quality for granted these days, so it feels proper to be releasing on an imprint that stands for exactly that.

Riva Starr's "Shine A Light EP" starts with "Can't Stop The Feeling," setting the tone with a bold, elastic House groove, driven by funky bass, smart filter work, and diva-style vocal stabs designed to lift the room. "Shine A Light (On Me)" follows with even greater impact, pairing wall-rattling drums with belting vocals that bring gospel intensity to a hands-in-the-air anthem. "Tryin'" digs deeper, keeping the pressure on with a sleazier bassline underpinning male vocal cries and smooth choral touches built for peak-time reactions. Closing things out, "Can't Stop The Feeling (Beat-A-Pella)" strips the groove back, rounding off a high-impact, emotionally charged EP of modern house craftsmanship.
