Our Take
Our Take
It's hard to believe that Jordan Rakei’s new album, What We Call Life, is only his fourth studio release. The Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has managed to pack a lifetime’s worth of musical exploration into this 12-track journey.
From the opening track "Family" with its smooth R&B vibes and thought-provoking lyrics, it's clear that Rakei is on a mission to redefine soul music for a new generation. His voice effortlessly glides over funky basslines and jazzy piano chords, creating a sonic landscape that is at once familiar and completely fresh.
Tracks like "Clouds" and "Rookie" showcase Rakei’s knack for blending genres, seamlessly moving from soulful ballads to uptempo grooves without missing a beat. The production on What We Call Life is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal layer carefully crafted to create a rich and immersive listening experience.
But what really sets this album apart is Rakei’s introspective lyrics, which touch on themes of love, loss, and the tumultuous nature of modern life. In a world where authenticity is often sacrificed for commercial success, Rakei remains unapologetically genuine in his artistry.
Overall, What We Call Life is a triumph for Jordan Rakei, showcasing his growth as a musician and a storyteller. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best music is the kind that makes you stop and think, and this album certainly delivers on that front. So grab a cup of tea, put on your comfiest jumper, and let Jordan Rakei take you on a journey through What We Call Life.
