No conventions fit Rae's voice. It bears an unrefined quality tempered by a
delicate beauty; her voice is inseparable from her soul. Her songwriting
style shuns the superfluous. Crafted without waste, her songs often end in
places pop music has only trained us to find unexpected. The music and
lyrics are eclectic and eccentric, and with live shows featuring the sounds of
accordion and vibraphone Rae and her band make songs such as the
arpeggiating discofunk tune “Lovestruck Odyssey†danceable. Or “Little
Scared†into a haunting carnivalized jazz that could easily be set in a horror
film. Rae is certainly a product of her own invention, ranging from penetrating
to perilous, fanciful to fierce, Rae Hering is truly crafting some of Nashville's
quirkiest and complex songs.
