Description
Someone Out There marks a stark sonic shift for Blackpool native Rae Morris. Bold and ambitious, the record is a focuses in on complex, electronic elements, marrying perfectly with Raes soaring and ethereal vocals, with production from Fryars, Ariel Rechtshaid (HAIM, Adele), My Riot (London Grammar, Bloc Party, RHODES), Fred Gibson (Brian Eno, RAYE, M.O., Stefflon Don), Buddy Ross (Frank Ocean) and Starsmith (Jess Glynne, Clean Bandit, Kwabs, Ellie Goulding), as well as mixing from Dan Grech (Halsey, Wolf Alice, Lana Del Ray, Regina Spektor).
Following the release of her debut album Unguarded in January 2015, Rae went completely underground, stripping her creative process back to basics, and began to write exclusively with her previous collaborator Fryars. The tracks they created began to reveal themselves as messages between them, as they fell in love during the writing process. As a result the record contains themes immediately recognisable to any listener and is perfectly in keeping with Raes previous work, with its incredibly moving and poignant lyrics, yet it sits in stark sonic contrast to anything shes created before.
Following signing to Atlantic Records at just 17 and appearing in the BBC Sound Of 2015, Rae released her debut album Unguarded in January 2015 to much critical acclaim. Produced by Ariel Rechtshaid (HAIM, Charli XCX), the album hit the top 10 in the UK album charts and announced her as one of the most relevant, exciting new artists to come out of the UK. She also found time to lend her unmistakeable vocals on collaborations with Clean Bandit Up Again, Bombay Bicycle Club (Luna), Fakear, Kaytranada and Rejjie Snow amongst others.
