RaRa, formerly Raquel Reno, has recently released her latest single, "Sweet Hurricane," which showcases her soulful vocal prowess reminiscent of 1960s divas such as Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, and Whitney Houston.
Co-written with notable songwriters Emily Phillips and Ant Whiting, "Sweet Hurricane" delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship, portraying the intense dynamics leading up to an argument. RaRa describes the song as an exploration of the tension and awkwardness between two lovers on the verge of confrontation while also enjoying the volatility of love, akin to a hurricane.
Drawing from diverse musical influences from her experiences in Cheltenham, China, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Nashville, and Memphis, RaRa's distinct voice is infused with southern soul. Her collaborations include work with industry figures such as John Fortis, Paul O'Duffy, Ant Whiting, James Reynolds, Lawrence ‘Boo’ Mitchell, and the 'Hi Rhythm Section' at Royal Studios in Memphis.
RaRa's career has been on an upward trajectory, with appearances on The James Whale Show on Talk TV, performances at The Shooting Stars Ball, and the feature of her song “Glitter” on BBC One. She has also graced the stage alongside artists like Beverley Knight, Katherine Jenkins, and Gary Barlow at The Variety Club Showbusiness Awards.
