I have loved Rae Morris since seeing her support Bombay Bicycle club on tour, that was the first time I seen her. I decided that before hand I was going to check out what she did and what she sang before going as I always like to do before a gig and instantly I was drawn in.
She has the most beautiful and delicate voice completely different to anything I've ever heard. And her song 'Don't go' brought me to tears on first listen, this one made it to the album too and rightfully so it is stunning and heartbreaking all at once, the feelings I feel when I listen to this song are indescribable.
I cried too when seeing her live (surprise surprise) and her success only got better and better from there. I seen her again when I went to see Bombay for a second time this time she came on to sing with them for 'Luna' which is one of my favourite songs off their album the song completely gets given a beautiful pitch to it from her vocals.
If I'm honest I wasn't sure what to expect from her album. Initially I had listened to a lot of piano songs from her which I loved but I wasn't sure if it would be the right album for me; I'm a bit of a if I cant bounce round the room to it, I'll leave it for a lazy Sunday in bed but actually now I mention it, its definitely a bit of both.
I adore this album from start to finish the explosions of passion and vocals in parts and delicate beautiful sounds in others, I can only but describe my heart and head as an emotional mess.
It's empowering and strong.
I think things will only get better for her honestly. I spotted an advert on TV the other day for 'up and coming artists in 2015' with her being one of them and really my heart just went out to her, she deserves every bit of success she gets.
Highlights of the album for me include: Closer, Love Again, Do you even know?
(I actually found that really hard not to write down just every song)
I haven't fallen that hard in love with an album for ages, I don't know if that is because I haven't really been falling in love with music that much lately or just because it truly is an amazing album I don't know but can I just say well do Rae you've done me proud girl.
