Reo Rae

Beauty. It’s a rare thing, especially where music is concerned. Nothing quite matches the elation of hearing someone bare their soul through music. ‘Reo Rae’, an acoustic singer songwriter from East Sussex, is one such artist.

At the tender age of twenty, she is already an accomplished songwriter and the possessor of a beautifully effortless voice. Her more intimate solo performances on the acoustic circuit are renowned for captivating even the most talkative gig goers and her electric sets are equally as potent.

Having studied classical music as a child, she decided to turn her hand to more contemporary styles and picked up the guitar in her early teens, playing songs by the likes of The Cranberries, Jeff Buckley and Massive Attack. This broad combination of influences contributes to her popular appeal and eclectic sense of style.

Having honed her songwriting skills over the years, ‘Reo’ began working with a backing band with whom she recently recorded her self released debut E.P ‘Past The Green’. Her heartfelt lyrics deliver bittersweet tales of desire, love and loss conveyed with an air of angelic innocence that cannot be ignored.

Featuring her sweet sentimentality and infused with soft melodies and lush harmonies, ‘Past The Green’ is a shining testament to Reo Rae’s unadulterated talent and marks the humble sophomore release of an English rose who is sure to make big waves on the acoustic scene in the very near future.

In a musical climate teaming with one-hit-wonders and flashes in the proverbial pan, it’s reassuring to know there’s at least one artist out there whose creativity hasn’t been corrupted by the latest musical fad.

Past The Green E.P Review

“ The first thing that hits you as you hear the choral intro and first few lines of Past The Green’s opener; “Home” is how strikingly familiar Reo Rae’s voice is to world renowned artist Dido. With music to match, Reo Rae’s voice is one that is very relaxing and it would be easy to sit and let the mind wander with the warmth of her music flowing over you. “Where Are You Now?” is another hit, with its lively upbeat rhythm and laid back, but nonetheless effective vocals from Reo Rae, displaying just how good her vocal range can be. This debut EP is filled with beautiful songs and comes highly recommended. ” The Gig Guide Verdict = 9/10 Stars.
