On being featured mxmtoon added “I was so excited when Ricky reached out to me. She’s a pro, and I feel lucky to have been able to work with her so early in her career.” Super communicative, naturally collaborative, and above all just such a kind person. She brought that same energy to the song. When choosing who to have on the song Ricky explains, “I always thought mxmtoon was such an impressive creative, juggling all of these projects so easily. Both of their voices work so well together and it makes it all that much better. Her smooth, angelic vocals add so much depth to it and really fit perfectly for the overall vibe of the song. The new release of “Line Without a Hook” is stellar and mxmtoon adds the extra punch to it. Now having signed a record deal with Warner Records he is set to work on new music to release in 2021. Ricky’s ability to paint a realistic and honest story through his music is his specialty, and why so many people adore him. They found solace in his music because it is so raw and personal. Now people were recognizing him for the brilliant musician and songwriter that he is. “I think because we had a really traumatizing year, these songs kind of found a moment, because they’re all, in their own way, about traumas in my life.” Flash forward to last year, he thought of quitting music altogether, that was until “Mr Loverman, and “Line Without a Hook” blew up on TikTok in July 2020, to which Ricky says But it was in 2018 when he decided to take a year off of music. His next venture he worked on The Honeysticks, a project with one of his childhood friends.

Ricky released his first EP Caught on The Moon in 2014, where he found himself quickly climbing the alternative charts. The album as a whole is brilliant and it’s baffling why it took this long for people to finally realize just how amazing the album and Ricky are.

The song was originally released back in 2016 on his Montgomery Ricky album, one of which also featured “Mr Loverman”. Indie pop rising superstar Ricky Montgomery is back with a brilliant twist on one of his classic songs “Line Without a Hook” now featuring mxmtoon.
