“Walk With Me” – A Closer Look

I AM….”WALK WITH ME.”

Dear Fans and Music Lovers,

“Walk With Me” is more than a collection of songs I put together to create an album. It is a heartfelt expression of my life’s experiences. Experiences that I know you all can relate to.

I am inviting you to listen and take this journey with me. I am…”Walk With Me”.

Bless, Always,

Rae

I AM..."Walk With Me"



A CLOSER LOOK

1. Walk With Me – When you are driving or rushing through life, you rarely notice the little things. When you walk, you notice much much more. “Walk With Me” is my invitation to you to take a journey with me through my experiences. The journey allows to to see who I am and gives you glimpse of my experiences. It’s a journey that you will enjoy.

2. No Regrets – When I wrote this song, I thought about how when you are feeling someone, you don’t want to regret letting them get close to you.

3. Free – I collaborated with Producer Shawn Smith and Songwriters Aubrey Swann & Kelly Smith on this one. “Free” is about how love can make you feel. “It’s so intense and it’s unrestricted…feeling like a burdens lifted…”

4. On My Own – When I wrote this song, I thought about how someone I knew and was close to lied to me about who they were and why they were in my life. Sometimes people will try to make you think that you need them to control you. When you know yourself, you realize that you are the master of your fate.

5. My Life Feat. Lin Que - “Walk With Me” is a dream come true. I think about music all the time and it permeates every aspect of “My Life”. I collaborated with another female artist who lives music in the same manner, Lin Que.

6. Rhythm of Love – This song was inspired by love and how undeniable it is once you feel it. It is similar to the feeling you get when you hear your favorite song. You want to turn it up and dance all night long.

7. It’s Over, I’m Gone – This song is about RESPECT! In this life, we are constantly having to fight for it and earn it. There are times when you may even find yourself explaining to others why you should get it. You find yourself “Hoping, wishing & praying” for people to change and meet you half way but they don’t. This song is about not engaging people who don’t respect you. Reciprocity is not an option…it’s a MUST!

8. Beautiful Memory – “Beautiful Memory” is about a lost love. Sometimes as women, we don’t always recognize a good man even when he is right in front of our faces. We are so use to disfunction and poor treatment that it becomes our norm. This song is a tribute to him and all the men out there who know how to treat a women.

9. Another Story - I co-wrote this song with my cousin Chima who plays the guitar on the track. This song is about the struggle of pursuing a dream and holding on to your true self in the process. Sometimes what you feel inside is not what’s written on your face.

10. Moving – I wrote this song about trying to survive and live out your dreams and hopes for yourself & others within an unfair society. No matter what happens, it’s our human instinct to survive and keep “Moving.”

“FALLING” PREVIEW

“Falling” is a very soulful and romantic R&B ballad that captures the weightlessness and euphoria one feels the moment they have fallen in love. Rachel delivers a vulnerable yet coy performance over the track, produced by none other than Sinque E. Rivers (Riva Road Music Group), Rachel duets with a playful flute solo establishing the light-hearted mood of the song while the hip-hop influenced percussion sets a head boppin’ pace.

Rachel has collaborated with the very prolific and talented Artist, Tshombe Sekou on the remix version. Tshombe delivers a poignant performance, boldly addressing the meaning of love, how we relate to it and our attempts to understand it. Rachel’s sweet soul and Tshombe’s poetic genius are a match made in music heaven. “Falling” is guaranteed to make you feel as if you too are “Falling” in love. And who doesn’t want to feel that damn good?

THE BEST STRANGER


Prior to leaving for the Disco Funk Tour de France in October, I was IM’ing my good friend and fellow artist Tshombe Sekou on the topic of the internet and how the internet has reshaped how we relate to others. Tshombe and I met via Twitter and have developed a friendship that lead to an amazing musical-spoken word collaboration with my latest single “Falling”. During our conversation Tshombe referred to me as “The Best Stranger” and of course I immediately heard a song. Thus the birth of the fun and lighthearted track “The Best Stranger”.
