In tandem with my last post, this track right here is pure bliss. Raye is such an ethereal gem and so talented that I'm gobsmacked that she is real.
The original studio-recorded track is amazing, but the live version is magic. The riffs, the runs, her heartfelt intro, the saxophone solo, and all the other random nuggets that make the live track into the exuberant joy it is!
Plus, the album cover is so cute! Look at those fonts and smiles!!

Yea it’s new, yeah it’s not that niche
But it’s a phenomenally written song, and a gorgeously produced song (like you can’t tell me that funky bass isn’t unexpectedly perfect) and all 3 of them (Lisa, Raye, Doja) absolutely fucking killed it.
Listen to Born Again (and watch the mv it’s so cool)
(this right here a small shoutout to alter ego by lisa, great album I need it on vinyl asap)

I’d been vaguely aware of Scarlet & her music, but when KJ looked me in the eyes and told me it was some really special shit I knew I had some homework to do.
He was right— I’m now a Scarlet Rae fan. This song especially is infectious with the atmosphere it builds up and the softly sung melodies, and fuck, I love how those pianos at the beginning are swapped out for fuzzy guitars at the end. Definitely my kind of song.
A true gem!

They are great and so underrated! There is something so magical about listening to music in the comfort of your home, but being transported to the effervescent atmosphere of a live show.

The song is the ache that comes from longing for a person who has not yet materialized in your life. Someone who is half-parts imaginary and half-parts phantom. Someone who is out of reach, but close enough that you can see the shadows of their figure and possibility. Its the agony of the wait and the uncertainty.

They don't make romantic comedies that are funny, endearing, and cozy like this anymore. Also, brace yourself, the couple can actually communicate!!! We have a winner folks!
