Anyone who\u2019s on TikTok has probably heard two of the indie-pop star\u2019s songs on repeat&nbsp; \u2013 \u201cMr. Loverman\u201d and \u201cLine Without a Hook.\u201d The former is a softer, more gentle track that builds up to a rousing sing-along chorus, while the latter is a more upbeat narrative on coming of age paired with power-pop riffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both songs were actually released in 2016 as part of Ricky\u2019s album titled <em>Montgomery Ricky<\/em>, but it wasn\u2019t until recently that they became certified hits. Today\u2019s listeners have clearly found his sound to be equal parts comforting, relatable, and timeless. These songs, particularly \u201cLine Without a Hook,\u201d propelled him into TikTok stardom and earned him over one million followers on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filipinos were quick to use Ricky\u2019s songs on their videos, even creating their own storylines for them. One that has been especially popular is using \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dokDh8a1jf0\">Line Without a Hook<\/a>\u201d for POV skits where the school nerd practices for a singing audition or talent show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1653028205487blob.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"558\" height=\"494\" data-attachment-id=\"35299\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/music-entertainment\/heres-how-tiktok-propelled-ricky-montgomery-into-indie-pop-stardom\/attachment\/1653028205487blob\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1653028205487blob.png\" data-orig-size=\"558,494\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1653028205487blob\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1653028205487blob-300x266.png\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1653028205487blob.png\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1653028205487blob.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35299\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1653028205487blob.png 558w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1653028205487blob-300x266.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>A screenshot of Ricky Montgomery\u2019s duet video with TikTok star Spencer Serafica<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Filipino content creator Feby Villar made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@frnzlynfby\/video\/7091502756527131931?_t=8RzYSraDtj7&amp;_r=1\">a TikTok for this trend<\/a>, and it has garnered over five million likes and 30 thousand comments, one of which came from Ricky himself. Another content creator, Spencer Serafica, also joined in on the fun and his creative take on the popular POV skit didn\u2019t go unnoticed. Ricky ended up doing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@rickymontgomery\/video\/7092076676703751470?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1\">duet video<\/a> with his video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows not only the appeal of Ricky\u2019s songs, but his gratitude toward anyone who supports his music. His TikTok page is filled with countless other videos of him duetting with people who have used his songs as audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The virality of his songs on the social platform was a turning point for Ricky, who nearly quit being a musician just before his songs\u2019 new-found fame. But with a little assurance of his music\u2019s impact, especially during the pandemic, he decided to continue doing what he loves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ricky is currently doing a massive tour across the US, and has recently released an EP titled<em> It\u2019s 2016 Somewhere. <\/em>It shares his genuine feelings about the whirlwind journey of his career and his life in general. It also serves as somewhat of a catharsis for him \u2013 one last look at the past before he moves toward what\u2019s ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from including acoustic versions of his songs \u201cMr. Loverman\u201d and \u201cI Don\u2019t Love You Anymore,\u201d Ricky\u2019s EP highlights key moments in his life, whether it\u2019s heartbreak from a romantic relationship or the grief behind his dad\u2019s death. Fans will be delighted that the EP is the best of both worlds: Ricky staying true to his sound while being a breath of fresh air to today\u2019s indie-pop scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/37i9dQZF1DZ06evO0wMa9G?si=874d26f0f5514aae\"><em>Check out this playlist<\/em><\/a><em> to discover the best songs from Ricky Montgomery!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there\u2019s an artist whose songs have aged like fine wine, it\u2019s Ricky Montgomery.
