About Me

Listening to Rebekah Higgs is like realizing that cotton candy is made out of unrequited love.

“Higgs crafts warm, willowy sounds over dreamy, confessional lyrics. But what sets Higgs apart is her predilection for mixing acoustic balladry with synthesized flourishes—call it folktronica. The fiddle-fueled opener “Parables” features cascading vocal loops, while the buzzing “Apples” may owe something to Higgs’ role in the trip-hop project Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees. Compelling lyrics + experimental arrangements = another adventurous Canadian artist.” - Nicholas Jennings, Inside Entertainment

“One of the coolest new voices I've heard lately belongs to Halifax singer-songwriter Rebekah Higgs; aching and a little world weary on songs like Winding Watch and Love Is, she's a strong entry into the world of East Coast pop chanteuses.” – Stephen Cooke, Halifax Chronicle Herald
