Raechelle [2022] - Fool [Webtaztic Music Group]

One word ... WOW!  You may perhaps not necessarily like the style of music ... but what an incredible voice! This is a debut single from Rae (Raechelle Burns) titled "Fool" released today (22 Feb 2022).

With it being a debut, information on the artist is scarce to non existent, but her facebook states that she is from L.A.

A stunning vocal performance, inducing the hairs on the back of your neck to stand up. With a voice such that she has, whilst this is definitely her debut single as it is confirmed on her facebook, surely she can't possibly be a newcomer. I'm almost certain that she will have a gospel background. I'm waiting for some information from her so watch this space.

Having listened to dozens, if not hundreds, of tunes a day it is very rare that something grabs me so instantly the way that this release has. A pure and soulful voice and a beautiful song, I hope you'll agree. Simply stunning, especially for a debut release and she also wrote the song herself.

UPDATE 24 Feb: I reached out to Rae and she has provided an updated bio so I will post it verbatim:

"Rae—born Raechelle Burns—is a singer-songwriter hailing from Los Angeles, California. Raised on soul, gospel and funk, her sound draws from childhood experiences of singing along to BeBe & CeCe Winans in her granny’s piano room and lending her voice to grade school choirs, gospel choirs and talent shows across the L.A. area. During these formative years, she developed a love for smooth ballads and her undeniable talent for harmonizing would land her gigs for both gospel and mainstream artists in her adult years.

Rae’s soulful tone is rooted in a wide range of inspirations—from RnB greats such as Anita Baker, Shirley Murdock, Aretha Franklin, and Gladys Knight to the upbeat sounds of The Gap Band, Prince, and The Elements: Earth, Wind, and Fire. After years of singing background for artists such as Dorinda Clark Cole, Nick Jonas and Geneen White, she’s now stepping out into the forefront. With a sultry mix of soul and RnB, Rae’s music emotes the kind of straight to the point storytelling that’s reminiscent of singer/songwriters of the 1970's. Her style is pure, heartfelt vocalism and she’s looking to cement herself firmly in the music scene with her powerful voice and distinct tone".
