Rio is the sixth studio album by South African musician, songwriter, and producer Trevor Rabin, released on 6 October 2023 on Inside Out Music. It is his first solo album of new material since 2012's Jacaranda (2012), and his first with vocals since 1989's Can't Look Away. The album is named for Rabin's granddaughter.[1] Rabin also painted the album's cover.[2]
Trevor Rabin recorded Rio over the span of many years. In 2017, Rabin said he was roughly halfway through recording.

In 2020, Yes Featuring Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, Rick Wakeman officially disbanded and Rabin said he was working hard on a new solo album.[3][4] Recording of Rio was complete in 2022.[5]
