Crafting a gorgeous brand of alternative R&B rooted in soul, Jordan Rakei is set to enchant audiences from behind his keyboard at Headrow House this Friday 11th. This appearance by the Brisbane based 20-something follows Rakei’s captivating debut Cloak, a jazz infused jamboree that’s danced into 2016 with smooth grooves and trippy production. This laid-back, neo-soul vibe has won Rakei critical acclaim on Australian radio station triple j, not to mention sparking collaborations with the likes of Tom Misch.
Although intelligently put together, the music of Jordan Rakei remains accessible thanks to infectious beats and smooth vocal work from the man himself. For an evening of jazz, soul and R&B guaranteed to blow your socks clean off, get down to the intimate Headrow House this Friday, grab a cocktail, and groove.
