NEET Records signee and M.I.A. protege Rye Rye is prepping the release of the second official single from her long-delayed debut Go! Bang! Pop! The Robyn assisted “Never Will Be Mine,” is a fairly safe single — even compared to her M.I.A.-featuring, summery “Sunshine” — not sounding unlike Nicki Minaj’s break out hit “Your Love”. The track borrows its hook from ’s mid-Aughts classic “Be Mine” from her self-titled 2005 LP.

The Baltimore native’s apparently troubled debut album was supposed to be out this Spring, but we’ve yet to hear an official release date. Here’s hoping “Never Will Be Mine” catches on and gives her label the confidence it needs in to release Go! Bang! Pop!
