From an album 'Lucid' released 12 Feb 2021, which is similar in feel to
We Want You To Dance's album just posted. It's impossible to pigeon hole as it's a
nybrid of soul, R&B, hip-hop, jazz. It may sound a bit messy to
'traditionalists' as the beats seem to be erratic which gives it a jazz
vibe.
I like it as it's pushing the boundaries not simply formulaic R&B
like the path so many artists choose to take. If new artists didn't
push the boundaries then music would stagnate, so respect to them.
I've just found her
website and
she's an indie artist. Her name Luner RAE (R•A•E) stands for Reaching
Authentic Essence, which would sum up the album.
Her real name is amber Baker, previously known as AbstractAmb, who was a drummer
for Psych Rock band Unknown Mortal Orchestra. She now plays
with Sir Woman from Austin, TX and has previously released a 7 track
EP 'Reaching' in 2018 and a single 'Other Side' on 31 Dec 2020 which is included on the album and posted
below.
If I were to attempt to draw comparisons with her music I would suggest
that she reminds me of a blend between Erykah Badu and Jill Scott.

Here's a live clip of her and her band performing 'Where Are You' from
