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".
