Rachel Rolleri – Favours: Stripped Back Acoustic Soul

Favours is just one of the blindingly emotive tracks from Rachel Rolleri’s latest soul inspired latest album ‘Black Book’. Rachel’s stripped back vocal style carries an almost overwhelming amount of weight as they verse the pensively penned lyrics which won’t fail to leave you feeling empowered after the track has drawn to a close. The acoustic instrumentals provide the perfect platform for Rachel to lay down her tentatively paced vocal offerings of sultry angst. It’s hard not to pity the fool that inspired Favours.

You can check out Rachel Rolleri’s latest album over Black Book over on Spotify now; if you’re looking for a sultrily veracious artist to add to your playlists, you definitely won’t be disappointed in her tantalisingly paced offering of pure aural alchemy. Each one of the tracks on Rachel’s 2017 album stands as testament to her talent when it comes to creating harrowingly resonance through her vocal harmonies. If you’re a fan of artists such as Christina Aguilara and Alicia Keys you’re going to be in heaven with Rachel Rolleri.

Shane Travis – Never Meant to Be: Sonorously Sweet Soul-Driven Acoustic

It’s a bit of a rubbish feeling isn’t it, that feeling of utter dejection when you realise that you’ve invested emotion and time into a totally wrong fit. But thankfully, we have artists such as Shane Travis to poignantly capture that emotion. The emerging artist has just released his sonorous new single Never Meant to Be which comes to life through the sultry and rhythmic acoustic chord progressions.

It’s almost hard to believe that a 22 year old artist created such an evocatively charged track which bleeds such maturity, charisma and soul. Yet with Never Meant to Be the Arizona based singer songwriter hit the nail on the head. Along with being an irrefutably talented vocalist and lyricist, he’s also a multi instrumentalist with the ability to play bass, drums, piano and guitar. There aren’t may artists around today that can boast such a vast array of skills. If that doesn’t see him to he top of his game, then I’ll lose faith in the music buying population for good.

You can check out Shane Travis’ sweet summer soaked melodic aural offering over on Spotify now, if you like what you hear stay tuned for the upcoming EP.
