Raheaven has this touch that makes each song feel totally distinct.
The vocalist incorporates all kinds of elements in her music – from left-field R&B to club-focussed afrobeats – but what emerges is totally distinct.
Debut EP ‘2PERSONAL’ came out last year, indicating the arrival of a special talent, one who stands out from the pack.
New single ‘Touch It’ finds Raheaven opening a fresh chapter, working alongside producer and frequent collaborator Wauve.
Out now, the vocal is absolutely gorgeous, while the percussive tick lifts from afrobeats. July 7 is on hand to bring the levels, while Raheaven’s lyric touches on the rush of instant communication.
She comments: “I would say it’s something a bit more fun and flirty. I think the alt-afro/rnb vibe of it helps to show that. I’ve teamed up with July 7 to have this kind of seductive conversation, I’m being quite forthcoming with what I want and the song is a mental map of that.”
“The sentiment is – I’m out, I’m having fun/ I’m feeling myself and I might f*ck around and let him have it tonight (maybe), it might not happen but the song plays the imagination part!”
Tune in now.
