Jordan Rakei announces new EP with title-track "Bruises"
Jordan Rakei has returned with new single "Bruises", the title-track from his upcoming EP.
"Bruises" is Rakei's first new material of 2022, following his appearance on Bonobo's "Shadows" in December, and arrives with news of a four-track EP of the same name.
Rakei says of the single, "I wanted to explore my musical roots of reggae music on "Bruises", but put a slightly alternative spin on it. I wrote the string parts and took them to Amika Quartet. We spent a whole day coming up with different ideas for different sections of the song, and I'm really happy with how it all turned out. I had a lot of fun making this track as it takes me back to my earlier days of making music."
Bruises will be Rakei's first collection of songs since last year's What We Call Life album, and will feature an alternate take on "The Flood", as well as new songs "Defection" and "Lightning".
He adds of the new version of "The Flood", "I love reinterpreting my own songs into different versions to suit different live settings or moods. I wanted to strip everything back and make this one about the tension and release, rather than overplaying/production."
