MUSIC
The Ransom Notes are not just performers; we are storytellers.
Across eight studio albums, we’ve developed a sound that is bold, innovative, and unapologetically pop. From high-energy anthems to moody, atmospheric arrangements, our music fuses inventive vocal arranging with polished production, made possible through collaborations with Grammy Award-winning producers, offering a fresh take on contemporary a cappella.
Our latest release, RN FM (2024), earned 7 Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award (CARA) nominations and won Best Pop Album at the 2025 CARAs. Standout tracks like “SPACE” and “GOOD ONES” were featured on BOCA and Voices Only, and our single “Take What You Want” was named RARB’s Single of the Year in 2023.
Whether you’re drawn to vocal acrobatics, dynamic storytelling, or reimagined pop hits, our discography offers something unexpected at every listen.
Dive in and hear how The Ransom Notes are changing the sound of collegiate a cappella, one song at a time.
