Jordan Rakei
Jordan Rakei is feeling more free than ever before. A decade on from the release of his debut album Cloak, the New Zealand-born, Britain-based singer-songwriter is entering a new chapter of unfettered creativity. Now, he returns to Australia and New Zealand with his biggest headline tour to date in celebration of his new album, A Safe Place To Be Wild.
Over the past 10 years—and six studio albums—the Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist has explored everything from the warmth of neo-soul and jazz-influenced improvisation, to earworm pop-melodies and orchestral arrangements, picking up nominations for an AIR Award and the Australian Music Prize along the way. On stage, his joyous live performances have captivated audiences from Glastonbury to two sold-out shows at the Royal Albert Hall, and a sold-out performance at the Sydney Opera House last year.
A Safe Place To Be Wild is informed by Rakei’s year spent as the first resident at London’s iconic Abbey Road Studios and inspired by the creation of his own home studio—two experiences reflected by the album’s themes following the urge for freedom, experimentation and truth-telling vulnerability, tied together by Rakei’s ear for lasting melody and anchored in the soft vibrato of his voice.
‘I’m truly myself in this music,’ he says. ‘It’s all about creating that safe space to be wild and free.’
