Rae Morris reveals new track "Under The Shadows"

20 November 2014, 10:22 | Written by Laurence Day

Singer-songwriter Rae Morris has revealed another new cut from her forthcoming debut LP Unguarded. This one's an epic synth-pop ballad called "Under The Shadows".

It sees Morris use chunky electronic hooks and beats to create an intense, bustling world that she can coo from. Draped in reverb and synth-choirs, there's a sense of menacing grandeur.

Speaking about the album, Morris has said:

“I’ve always liked to visualise things in circular patterns in my mind. A full circle journey, a complete tale and a finished story. I see my album as a coming-of-age tale, from start to finish, from then to now. I guess it's a series of diary entries documenting these important years of growing up and learning. I’m not trying to be cryptic. It's really simple. That's just how I see it. I’m just being completely myself.”
