Jordan Rakai, a highly acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, is also a gifted vocalist with a deep, beautiful voice. Known for his collaborations with Tom Misch, Loyle Carner, and even Common, he has released his latest album, "What We Call Life." To celebrate the release, a behind-the-scenes documentary has been released.
The album was recorded with a band, a first for Rakai, and the resulting performances are more dynamic and crisp than ever, lending a powerful underpinning to the album. Meanwhile, on more delicate tracks, the rich sound gently envelops Rakai's vocals, blurring the lines between electric and acoustic instruments.
With this album, Rakai also wanted to share with listeners what he learned through therapy. Looking back on his life from childhood to the present, he took a deep look inside himself and wrote lyrics that were born from those reflections. While the album will give listeners something to think about when it comes to considering how to live their lives, it is also an entertaining piece that allows you to enjoy his uniquely beautiful voice and smooth, rich songwriting.
