Album Review Rae Morris - [email protected]

Described by the singer as a “homecoming and a rebirth,” ‘[email protected]’, the third studio album from Rae Morris, offers a collection of melodic, folk-inspired tracks melded with an almost hyperpop string of singles. The influence of collaborator Fryars shines through on ‘Spitting From The Top’ and ‘Skyscraper Love’, as well as ‘Go Dancing’, on which the songwriter and producer (and partner) features. The record draws heavily on foremothers such as Kate Bush and Eartha Kitt, as well as nodding towards contemporaries such as First Aid Kit and Laura Marling. A vibrant list of touchstones to be sure, but it’s ultimately unclear just what Rae’s intentions here are.
